Wyoming healthcare facility planning security upgrades after active shooter incident

Casper hospital to get cameras, doors and guards


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.
