UPMC Memorial said Saturday that no patients were injured and that the gunman is dead. The extent of any other injuries is not yet known. Meanwhile, police in West York, a borough of nearby York, confirmed the officer killed belonged to the West York Borough Police Department.

UPMC released a statement on social media saying the hospital is “now secure” and that law enforcement is managing the situation.

The hospital further asked employees who are not scheduled to work on Saturday to stay home, according to Susan Manko, vice president of public relations for UPMC. Manko said families of patients seeking more information can call two hotlines: (717) 849-5338 and (717) 849-5334.

Families of patients arriving on site should report to the parking lot of the OSS building across the street from the hospital, Manko said.

Governor Josh Shapiro says he was briefed on the shooting and that he, in addition to other state agencies will be responding to the scene.

UPMC Memorial, which opened in August 2019, is a 104-bed hospital with all private patient rooms. The five-story facility provides medical care, cardiology and vascular services, chronic disease management, surgical services, and treatment for patients in need of long-term acute care, per UPMC.

UPMC, headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, has more than 40 hospitals and 800 doctors across Pennsylvania, New York, and Maryland, according to UPMC.

Residents should avoid the area around UPMC Memorial.
