A Washington state man was arrested and charged with 1st degree murder after he walked into a hospital and shot two people, killing one for no reason.
According to thenewstribune.com Martice Lawon Ryan, a 25-year-old, found himself in significant trouble on August 6th at MultiCare Allenmore Hospital in Tacoma, as per reports.
Around 7 p.m., police officers were dispatched to the emergency room in response to a 911 call regarding a shooting.
Upon arrival, they discovered hospital personnel tending to a male individual, referred to as J.W., and a female individual, identified as C.C., as per the report. J.W. had sustained multiple gunshot injuries and was declared deceased. C.C. had suffered a superficial gunshot wound to her abdomen.
The woman, when questioned by detectives, claimed ignorance about the suspect’s identity and the reason for the shooting. She detailed how she accompanied J.W., who was experiencing elbow pain, to the hospital.
The trip to the hospital was uneventful until they reached the ER parking lot. According to the affidavit, as they walked towards the ER, a man in a red Mazda SUV drove by them slowly with loud music playing.
The man became agitated, claiming J.W. was lying. Witnesses reported hearing an argument escalate quickly.
The situation turned violent when Ryan allegedly pulled out a gun and shot J.W. multiple times.
Panicked screams filled the waiting room as chaos erupted. Police arrived on the scene shortly after, apprehending Ryan without further incident.
