"I started running downstairs and I heard a bang,"
"As I was running downstairs, (hospital workers shouted, 'No, go that way.' When I got on the first floor, they said, 'Stay put.' The hospital was on lockdown. "I wasn't focusing on the chaos. I was concerned for my own safety. My objective was to be safe and get home.""
Police shot a man armed with a knife inside Methodist Hospital in Park Slope after he barricaded himself in a sixth-floor room with an elderly patient and began cutting himself. Two officers initially used Tasers but the man remained standing, prompting another pair of officers to fire their handguns and critically wound him. The man had been visiting family at the hospital. Hospital staff announced an active-shooter alert and locked down the facility, forcing patients and visitors, including a dialysis patient from Crown Heights, to shelter and follow staff instructions.
