WILMINGTON, Del. — Authorities are actively searching for a suspect believed to be responsible for a workplace shooting that left two hospital employees injured inside ChristianaCare’s Wilmington Hospital. The incident occurred Tuesday afternoon in the 500 block of West 14th Street, prompting an immediate lockdown of the medical facility and a massive law enforcement response. According to preliminary information provided by law enforcement officials to ABC News, the shooter may have been a temporary employee who shot two other staff members. Police have confirmed they know the identity of the suspect but have not yet released their name or physical description to the public. The conditions of the two victims remain unknown, and authorities have not disclosed a motive for the attack. While officials believe the shooting was targeted rather than random, they cautioned that the situation remains active and details are subject to change. Video footage from the scene depicts a heavy presence of police, fire, and emergency medical personnel near the hospital’s Emergency Department. Staff members were seen being escorted from the building as officers worked to secure the campus. The hospital remained on lockdown Tuesday evening, and the Emergency Department was placed on divert, redirecting incoming patients to other area hospitals. Wilmington Police have urged the public to avoid the area surrounding the hospital to facilitate the ongoing manhunt. As of early Tuesday evening, no arrests had been made, and the suspect remains at large. Investigators are continuing to gather evidence and interview witnesses as the manhunt progresses. The Delaware LIVE news team is monitoring the situation and will provide updates as more information becomes available from Wilmington Police and hospital administrators.
