NEW ORLEANS:Two bystanders were shot and wounded after an argument outside a hospital culminated in gunfire Thursday, New Orleans police said.<br /> <br /> A woman was arguing with a man outside University Medical Center before she fired several shots, striking a woman outside the hospital and a man inside the building, police said.<br /> <br /> The man was wounded in the shoulder by a bullet that went through the glass entrance, Police Superintendent Shaun Ferguson said. He added that the woman was struck in the hip.<br /> <br /> Both victims were in stable condition and neither wound was believed to be life-threatening, Ferguson said. Police originally believed both were inside the emergency department but that turned out to be incorrect, a news release said.<br /> <br /> The woman suspected of firing the shots was arrested and the man she was arguing with has been detained for questioning, authorities said. A lockdown at the hospital was lifted shortly after midday.<br /> <br /> However, emergency patients were directed to a different area, <em>The Times-Picayune / The New Orleans Advocate</em> reported.<br /> <br /> Aubrey Edwards, who volunteers in that department as a medical advocate for sexual assault survivors, told the newspaper that she was getting vaccinated against the novel coronavirus when a nurse got a telephone call and started repeating, “There’s an active shooter.”<br /> <br /> Edwards said she was in a group of about 20 people whom the nurse led into a closet. Doctors, nurses and volunteers began frantically texting for more information or to tell people they loved them, she said.<br /> <br /> “You could tell some people were super distressed and freaked out,” Edwards recalled.<br /> <br /> She said the nurse got word that it was safe about seven minutes later.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
