Hospital officials will evaluate safety protocols after a man shot and fatally wounded a doctor inside Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston before killing himself, according to an article on the ABC News website.
Police said the gunman wasn't a patient of the doctor's and they didn't specify a motive for the shootings.
Police and hospital officials commended the fast response by police and hospital staff, who they said had been trained to respond to an "active shooter" situation.
Betsy Nabel, the hospital's president, said Brigham and Women's will evaluate its safety protocols. She said there have been no discussions about installing metal detectors, which none of the city's hospitals have.
The shooting prompted a temporary lockdown.
