NO SHOOTER, LOTS OF HEROES

There was no active shooter at Mercy Hospital in SW Bakersfield, but there were plenty of heroes. Dignity Health Safety and Security Director Shad Reeves says once the call came Wednesday night just before 8:00 – it was all hands on deck for hospital staff and law enforcement. Reeves says law enforcement was on scene in three minutes, and both during and afterward the incident patients overwhelmingly commented on how safe the staff and law enforcement made them feel.
