Authorities in Troy, Michigan, have confirmed that police officers are investigating a reported shooting incident near Troy Beaumont Hospital (now Corewell Health William Beaumont University Hospital) earlier today.
The alarming situation unfolded in the vicinity of the busy medical complex, prompting a swift and extensive law enforcement response as officers worked to secure the area and ensure the safety of staff, patients, and nearby residents.
According to preliminary reports, shots were fired near the Corewell Troy campus earlier in the day, sending shockwaves through the hospital community and surrounding neighborhoods. Witnesses reported hearing multiple gunshots and seeing a heavy police presence arriving shortly thereafter.
In response, hospital security and Troy Police immediately initiated lockdown procedures, restricting access to certain sections of the facility while officers combed the area for potential suspects or victims.
Law enforcement officials have not yet confirmed whether anyone was injured in the incident. However, sources indicate that police units and detectives have established a perimeter around the hospital’s parking areas and surrounding streets as they continue to gather evidence.
Several police cruisers, emergency medical units, and tactical response teams were spotted near Beaumont Drive and Dequindre Road, where the reported gunfire was first heard.
The Troy Police Department released a brief statement acknowledging the situation, emphasizing that there is no ongoing threat to the public at this time but urging residents to avoid the area while the investigation continues.
Authorities are interviewing witnesses, reviewing surveillance footage from hospital security cameras, and analyzing shell casings reportedly found at the scene. Corewell Health representatives also issued a statement expressing gratitude for the rapid response of law enforcement and hospital security.
They reassured the public that patient care has not been disrupted and that the facility remains open under heightened security protocols. “Our priority is always the safety and well-being of our patients, visitors, and team members,” the statement read.
The incident has sparked concern among Troy residents, as the area surrounding Beaumont Hospital is typically known for being quiet and secure. Many expressed shock that such an event could occur so close to a major medical center.
Social media users have been sharing updates and videos showing flashing police lights and officers directing traffic away from the main hospital entrances. As of this evening, police have not confirmed any arrests or identified potential suspects involved in the shooting.
Investigators are appealing to the public for any information, asking witnesses or anyone with dashcam footage from the area between 1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. to come forward.
