There you have it. The hospital with a gun free policy is praising the actions of a Doctor who was carrying his concealed firearm while at his office. The Doctor’s name is Dr. Lee Silverman, and we are so thrilled to see this response from the hospital:
Post by Mercy Health System.
We are thankful for the swift action of Dr. Lee Silverman, Dr. Jeffrey Dekret, John D’Alonzo and the other colleagues and visitors who took brave and difficult action during yesterday’s tragic event. We extend our condolences to Theresa Hunt’s family, and we are praying for Dr. Silverman’s speedy recovery. We look forward to Dr. Silverman’s return to serving patients at our hospital. We will do all we can to support the victims during this difficult time.
We continue to work with the Delaware County authorities to understand fully the details of the event. We are reviewing our policies and procedures to ensure a safe environment. We are committed to serving as a compassionate and healing presence in our communities, and we are grateful for the outpouring of community support
After the scene calmed down, the Police Chief praised the Doctor’s actions as well and stated “without a doubt, I believe the doctor saved lives.”
Thank You, please do me a favor and pass it along to others.
We need to illustrate the insanity of “Gun free” zones, they are more like Commonsense Civil Right – free zones.
Yes, I agree – this incident has to be touted as the Cause Célèbre for the Commonsense Civil Right of the Right to keep and bear arms.
Maybe a bigger sign would have stopped him?
I was wondering which Doctor did the shooting.
