Wyoming Medical Center in Casper is planning security upgrades after an active shooter incident in March, according to an article on Casper Star-Tribune website.
Cameras, doors and guards will be added after a man entered the hospital through a backdoor and fired a handgun at two employees. Some changes have already been made.
Casper police completed an assessment of the building and a second examination by a firm that specializes in healthcare security is upcoming.
Mike Staley, the hospital’s recently appointed chief administrative officer, praised a housekeeper who first encountered the armed man. He and other hospital officials said staff did “everything right” during the incident.
