Man Shot in Parking Lot of Baptist South Hospital

Baptist Medical South security confirms an incident is under investigation.

Baptist Medical security received a call around 1:30 pm for an alert Montgomery police dispatch received related to the incident.

The hospital is currently under lockdown for anyone coming to visit, or checking in, according to hospital security. They are only taking emergencies.

It appears the investigation is near Baptist Medical South’s only emergency entrance. Montgomery police, Baptist Hospital Security officers have placed crime tape near the only emergency entrance.

At 1:47 pm a citizen, who does not wish to share her name, called her mother, who was inside Baptist Medical South for an appointment.

“My mom told me to duck down in the car, she was watching me from the top,” she said. While sitting in the car, she heard a gunshot, then turned around and heard more shots, she said.

After she heard shots fired, she said a car pulled in, and it appeared a passenger was wounded.

The initial investigation indicates that this shooting stemmed from an ongoing dispute between two adult males who know each other and encountered each other by chance at the same location. One of the individuals approached the other in an aggressive manner and sustained a non-life-threatening gunshot wound as a result.

There were no other injuries or any other parties involved in this incident. This was not a random event and was isolated to the two individuals involved in the dispute.
