Police at the Jesse Brown VA Medical Center apprehended a man armed with an assault rifle within 30 seconds after he opened fire both inside and outside the hospital Monday afternoon.

The officers heard the gunfire at about 2:20 p.m. near the Taylor Street entrance to the hospital just west of Damen Avenue and rushed over. The man was taken into custody without police firing a shot, according to the FBI.

No injuries were reported.

“Nobody was hurt, there was nobody injured, there was nobody hit,” said Jeffrey Sallet, special agent in charge of the FBI’s Chicago field office. “We avoided tragedy here in the city of Chicago today.”

Sallet declined to say how many rounds the man fired or what could have motivated the shooter, who did not make any statements to federal authorities upon his arrest.

As of Monday evening, the suspect was being interviewed by Chicago police detectives at Area Central headquarters.

Any criminal charges against him would be brought on the federal level, as the hospital is operated by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Sallet said the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Illinois was “evaluating” charges Monday evening.

Lori Lohar, the hospital’s acting director, said the suspect is “believed not to be a veteran.” Tom Ahern, a spokesman for the CPD, said the suspect has a criminal history and is associated with several addresses.

Monday’s shooting came about nine months after a gunman opened fire at Mercy Hospital and Medical Center on the South Side, killing a doctor, pharmacy resident and a Chicago Police officer. The gunman was also killed.

At first I thought it was about a Virginia hospital. I assumed Chris had finally had enough.

Let's be honest, it's more likely the hospital will be the entity to have had enough when that day comes.

So sad that so many people want to go off people but hey it's alright.

Happens here occasionally, but it's the Mexican gangs.
The EMTs have to learn about the different groups so they don't put opposing gang members together in an ambulance

I'd like to think I would do that. Hell, one time I ran toward someone screaming bloody murder(Luckily just some literally retarded women fighting), so there's a chance I wouldn't be a complete coward.

Please, for the love of god, please share stories of warring, severely injured cholos who rise from their bunks and saunter over to try and choke the other guy out. I'm imagining IV bags trailing behind them, people hitting each other with their casts or crutches, and terrible dramatic music playing over a closeup shot of some dude's EKG machine going ballistic.

I once broke up a white trash domestic dispute with a hunting knife. It was less awesome than it sounded since a harsh wind could knock me over. Luckily the douchebag who started the incident was as much of an exceptional as I was. If he was actually aggressive I probably would have been toast.

The only ones that I know of were just plain fights, but that's bad enough.

Wait, were you the one with the hunting knife or were the couple fighting with a hunting knife? One of those makes you a hell of a lot braver (and maybe suicidally so).

I was the idiot who ran in with it and broke it up. There were actually four people involved including myself. The dude's drug addict girlfirend dragged some weirdo home to cheat on him. I probably should have just called the cops and stayed out of it, but at least the incident didn't boil down to a fistfight.

Chicago, where guns are banned. In that town, there's at least six niggers killed by other niggers regularly between commercial breaks. That's not counting the niggers that miss, rob people, and do all other kinds of shit.

White guy uses a rifle that looks scary, shoots at people, and suddenly the left shows its true racism by making a big deal out of a white man doing it, because white men should know better- you can't hold niggers to a standard of civility, apparently?

FFS I throw the word "nigger" around for keks but I can't even manage to think that we should hold any human being to a lesser standard

That really seems like a problem that just solves itself...
