Apparently, this man’s son was taken off life support without him being in the room..I don’t know the circumstances of this but if my child were being removed from life support and they didn’t allow me in the room I would be pretty pissed off too

Wow. They should not be taking people off life-support without the parents or next of kind being involved.

Bad situation but who had custody?
I fail to see how this does anything but extend his suffering.

The floor at the hospital on which this has been happening has been evacuated, but Tomball police say the hospital has not been shut down or put on lockdown.

Tomball police believe the suspect is armed, but has not made any demands. They also say there are no employees being held hostage.

Negotiations with the suspect are underway.

Earlier the Harris County Sheriff’s Office reported the suspect is the father of a patient there.

Tomball police, the Texas Rangers, Harris County Precinct 4 and the Harris County Sheriff’s Office are all on the scene.
