TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — A father fatally shot his son at a hospital in Sebring on Thursday before turning the gun on himself.
According to the Highlands County Sheriff’s Office, the incident began after a 66-year-old man brought his adult son to AdventHealth Sebring.
“Reportedly, the father was having difficulties with his son, who was being somewhat combative,” HCSO wrote in a release.
Emergency room staff admitted him to a mental health room. At around 11:26 a.m., The father drew a handgun and fired shots at the wall “in an apparent attempt to get other people out of the room,” according to the sheriff’s office.
He then shot his son, who was laying in a hospital bed, before turning the gun on himself. Both men died at the site of the shooting and HCSO said no bystanders were injured.
The incident sent the hospital into lockdown and ambulances are being diverted to another hospital as deputies investigate.
