LEBANON, N.H. – A patient was shot to death inside an intensive care unit Tuesday by a family member, leading to a lockdown at New Hampshire’s largest hospital, authorities said. No one else was injured.
Authorities said a person was taken into custody shortly before 3 p.m. while trying to leave the grounds of Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon.
Attorney General Gordon MacDonald identified the victim as a 70-year-old woman. He said there were no other injuries.
No possible motive for the shooting was released.
An active shooter alert was issued after police received a report of a shooting inside an ICU on the fourth floor of one of the buildings.
Rhode Island State Police said the suspect’s car had Rhode Island plates so police in New Hampshire reached out to the state’s Fusion Center, an information center under the command of the state police that also involves representatives from local, state and federal agencies.
The center helped identify the suspect as a Rhode Island resident, said Laura Meade Kirk, a state police spokeswoman. The resident’s name wasn’t immediately released.
John Kacavas, the medical center’s chief legal officer, thanked police and the attorney general’s office for their response to a “tragic situation.”
People were told to avoid the area around the hospital, and traffic was stopped on a route leading to the medical center.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and Vermont State Police assisted New Hampshire and local police.
CBS affiliate WCAX-TV reports that an employee said all workers received an email from the hospital about a “code silver,” telling them to get out if possible and otherwise to shelter in place. “Code silver” indicates that a violent situation is unfolding.
The incident started at about 1:30 p.m., when police received a report of an active shooter, WCAX reported. SWAT teams as well as officers responded.
The state attorney general’s office is investigating.

Authorities in Florida warned residents that “going to prison over a pair of sneakers is a fairly bad life choice” following a series of burglary arrests as Hurricane Irma was slamming the state with heavy rains and winds.
Police in Fort Lauderdale said nine were arrested in connection to a sportswear store burglary. The group, which was filmed by a local news staton, allegedly stole sneakers.
Police Chief Rick Maglione warned people in the statement that “Going to prison over a pair of sneakers is a fairly bad life choice” and residents should instead “Stay home and look after your loved ones and be thankful they are all safe.”
The Miami-Dade Police Department also said on Twitter that there were 28 arrests for looting.
Similar warnings were issued by other police departments across the state. “Any looters who come to Pembroke Pines will be greeted by our officers. Choose wisely and stay home,” wrote the Pembroke Pines Police Department.
The Broward County Sheriff’s Office, meanwhile, wrote: “ATTENTION LOOTERS; Every incident will be investigated. Evidence collected will be used to pursue charges after the fact.”
The warning came hours after a Broward deputy shot a 17-year-old burglary suspect in Weston, Fla. The out-of-town homeowners spotted a burglary in progress on their home security cameras and called the Broward Sheriff’s Office, authorities said.
Dylan Lemon of Weston was shot outside the home about 3 a.m. Sunday, officials said. He went to the hospital with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound. He and his alleged accomplice Jean Coello, 17, also of Weston, were charged with burglary and grand theft.
Meanwhile, police in Stuart, a town in Martin County, tweeted a mugshot alongside a photo of a box of sunglasses, and said Michael Woods was arrested after stealing the sunglasses from a shop in town.
Woods was arrested, confessed to his crime and returned the stolen shades to law enforcement.
