Here’s the latest update on the shooting that occurred Thursday morning inside the parking garage at Corewell Health Beaumont Troy Hospital. According to Troy police, the incident appears to be isolated and involved two employees. The suspect has since been taken into custody.

Shelby Township police confirmed that the suspect in the hospital shooting is now in custody. Authorities reported that they arrived at a home in Macomb Township, contacted the suspect by phone, and he subsequently surrendered without incident.

Lt. Ben Hancock of the Troy Police Department provided details about the shooting, which took place in the hospital’s parking garage around 7:08 a.m. Hancock stated that one employee fired five shots at another employee. The victim, a 25-year-old man from Troy, was struck twice in the arm and is currently in stable condition.

The suspect, who was initially at large, is no longer believed to be in the hospital area.
