Questions have been raised about security at Australia's Canberra Hospital, after witnesses heard a police officer ordering a staffer to pick up a dropped gun during a shooting incident, according to an article on the Canberra Times website.
There have been calls for police to leave their guns in locked safes before entering the hospital, a policy unions said existed up until a few years ago.
A man was in police custody in the hospital's emergency department when he allegedly wrestled a gun from a police officer and shot it a number of times. The man was Tasered before he dropped the gun.
An officer yelled at a staffer to pick up the gun before the accused was restrained, according to witness statements collected by the Health Services Union.
