        Breaking News

There is a reported early developing story at St. Paul's Hospital Center in PG County. Apparently there is reports of gunfire being heard on the hospital campus and the hospital is currently on immediate lockdown including the emergency room which is redirecting any new patients on to other hospitals until the all clear is given. We don't have word on any possible shooting victims but there are reports of gunfire and a possible active shooter. We will stay on this breaking news story and give you more details as they come in.

Spencer was in his kitchen and searching for an interesting dinner recipe in one of his cookbooks. He was also trying to put his..... attack out of his mind but failing. When the news report interrupted the Rebel talk show on the kitchen counter TV his heart nearly stopped beating.

There was a shooting at St. Paul's Hospital Center? DuBuis's hospital!

He dropped the cookbook on the kitchen table abruptly and reached for his cell phone to text his husband ; immediately asking if he was alright.

After a few moments his phone beeped and he looked down at it in his hand.

DuBuis: I think it's a false alarm. Maybe. The hospital is locked down for precaution. There was someone firing a gun at the outside of the hospital. The ER entrance.

Spencer texted back," The emergency room? Are you ok? "

DuBuis responded back," I'm fine. I was inside in the pits of hell.  Your brother was actually outside though but he is fine. He was smoking. I thought he quit. He's a little on edge and I'd be too if I was him. Security said the shots were really close to him. He is fine though. Don't worry.

Spencer swallowed. This could not be a coincidence, could it ? Was it Skip ? He thought about the threatening texts that Skip had sent him. The ones he had stupidly deleted from his phone. If it was Skip could his family still be in danger?

He quickly dialed a cell phone number on his phone and waited impatiently until the person picked up.

" Browne. What's up ? "

" Detective Browne. This is Spencer Norland -Lane. I think Skip just did a shooting at the hospital where my husband works. I think he tried to kill my brother. "
