Hopkins Shooter Injures Doctor, Kills Relative, Self
BALTIMORE -- Baltimore city police said a man who shot a doctor at Johns Hopkins Hospital Thursday morning also killed himself and a relative a few hours later.
A detective told WBAL Radio reporter Robert Lang that the suspect, who was in a room with a relative who was a patient, shot and killed the relative and then killed himself shortly after 1:30 p.m. According to a police Twitter feed, the situation is being investigated as a murder-suicide.
Baltimore city police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi originally said that the man had been killed by a member of the police tactical team, but corrected the information a short time later.
The doctor, who has not been identified, was shot in the abdomen shortly after 11:20 a.m. inside the Nelson Building. City police said that the doctor was undergoing surgery and that his injury was not expected to be life-threatening.

The shooter had been contained to a floor of that building after the doctor's shooting, and Guglielmi said that the emergency room remained open.
Police said they don't know about the relationship between the doctor and shooter.
Police Commissioner Fred Bealefeld is expected to hold a news conference sometime after 3 p.m.
Guglielmi said the alleged shooter was a black man in his 30s. He said affected floors were shut down during the situation.
"All we want to say is the situation is contained," he said at 1:35 p.m. "There's no risk to the general public, there's no risk to patients."

Sky Team 11: Shooting At Johns Hopkins
Employees at the scene told WBAL-TV 11 News reporter David Collins that the man was unhappy because his mother had been paralyzed, and that the doctor was shot while in surgery. The doctor's wife is a nurse at the hospital, 11 News learned.
Guglielmi said he didn't know what kind of weapon was used.
"I do know that the doctor is OK," Guglielmi said. "He's at the best place that he can be, which is Johns Hopkins Hospital," he said.
An emergency room employee told 11 News, "They locked everything down, every last door. It was quite frightening. Nothing's ever happened like this before. It was very terrifying, especially when you don't know where the suspect is."
Cynell Robertson told 11 News, "My boss came running in to tell me to stay put where I'm at, there's a guy running around with a gun and we didn't know what he's going to do," "(It was) very scary, very frightening."
"People started running and leaving, and there is police everywhere"

A Hopkins spokesman originally told the Associated Press that the shooter has been subdued. The man had "barricaded himself in a room," according to Guglielmi. It wasn't immediately known if anyone was in the room with the suspect.
The shooting occurred in an eighth-floor room.
Gugliemi encouraged anyone who has appointments at the hospital to keep their appointments. "We have this isolated to a small section of the hospital," he said. "We have officers in place."
The hospital was partially evacuated during the situation.
Patient Jennifer Williams, on a second-flood maternal section, said: "They came and brought us all into this little consultation room. The employees are all being told to go into their offices and close their doors."
Johns Hopkins Medicine spokesman John M. Lazarou released a statement during the situation that all hospital staff, patients and visitors were being asked to stay inside their rooms.
A hospital worker who says she was in the ER when the injured doctor was brought in speaks with 11 News on conditions of anonymity.
"As a precaution, The Johns Hopkins Hospital has temporarily restricted access to the main hospital buildings following a report this morning of a disturbance and possible shooting incident on one of the floors. Baltimore police and Johns Hopkins security officers are on the scene and have asked employees, visitors, patients and caregivers to stay in rooms or offices, with doors locked where possible, until further notice," the statement read.

Willie Myers, who works in urology, said he was in an administration building.
"We received a text that there was a shooting in the hospital, but they didn't know where," he said. "Then, we got a location, and they started evacuating. We had heard a doctor was shot. We didn't know what area he was shot.
"People started running and leaving, and there is police everywhere," he said.
Sky Team 11 Capt. Roy Taylor said traffic was detoured in a one-block area around the hospital.
The shooting happened at a very busy time at the hospital. Hopkins has as many as 25,000 to 30,000 people passing through every day.
In addition to Baltimore city police and fire, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Maryland State Police responded to the scene.
There are about 40 buildings comprising about 44 acres on the Johns Hopkins Hospital campus. It has about 1,000 rooms.BALTIMORE -- Baltimore city police said a man who shot a doctor at Johns Hopkins... more-

Out of nearly 5,000 hospitals reviewed, only 152 made the cut. Each of these hospitals appears in the rankings for at least one of the 16 specialties, ranging from cancer to diabetes to heart surgery.

University of Konstanz and Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health Establish Center of Alternatives to Animal Testing—Europe
The University of Konstanz and the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health have jointly established the Center for Alternatives to Animal Testing—Europe (CAAT-EU) in an effort to promote better coordination in toxicity testing. The new Center, modeled after the Bloomberg School‘s Center for Alternatives to Animal Testing (CAAT), will conduct scientific research to find new methods to replace the use of laboratory animals in studies, reduce the number of animals needed for research, and to refine necessary tests to eliminate the pain and distress of animals in research. CAAT-EU will hold an inauguration ceremony in Konstanz, Germany, on March 30.
Marcel Leist, professor at the University or Konstanz, will lead CAAT-EU, along with Thomas Hartung, the Doerenkamp-Zbinden Professor and Chair for Evidence-based Toxicology, and director of CAAT at the Bloomberg School. Hartung also holds an appointment as professor at the University of Konstanz.
“As a transatlantic cooperation center, CAAT-EU will unite its activities in the field of alternatives and toxicology at the University of Konstanz and combine them strategically with the activities of the Bloomberg School’s CAAT in the U.S.,” said Leist.
“Sound science is the bridge, not only across the Atlantic, but also for a future with safer products using fewer animals,” added Hartung.
The CAAT-EU board of directors includes EuroGroup for Animals, an umbrella organization of more than 30 animal protection organizations, and ECOPA—the European consensus platform for alternative methods made up of representatives of universities, industry, animal protection organizations and governments.
CAAT was founded at the Bloomberg School of Public Health in 1981 as an academic, science-based center to provide a better, safer, more humane future for people and animals. The University of Konstanz has more than 20 years of experience in studying alternatives to animal research. CAAT-EU will collaborate with CAAT to develop a worldwide standard for chemical testing.
“Konstanz is the ideal location for this enterprise,” said Ulrich Ruediger, rector of the University of Konstanz. “Here we have a tradition of intensive support for alternative methods.”
“The mission of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health is to protect health and save lives through research and education,” said Michael J. Klag, dean of the Bloomberg School of Public Health. “We work with partners around the world and look forward to our collaboration with the University of Konstanz.”
