Gun battle suspects arrested at ''no-guns'' Good Samaritan Hospital
WDTN.com (NBC Dayton) is reporting that "a gun battle spilled over into [the]...parking lot" of the 'no-guns' Good Samaritan hospital Tuesday.
According to the story, the shootout began on McCleary Avenue in Dayton, where one man was hit several times.
From the story:
- When an ambulance raced him to the hospital, detectives say his friends and enemies followed.
The two groups exchanged words, and allegedly threatened hospital security guards who tried to break it up.
That's when police were called to the scene.
With guns drawn, more than twenty officers diffused the explosive fight.
Delano Beverly watched in shock.
He said, "It's scary, and the thing about it is, young kids, all young kids. It's a shame."
Police say they found guns and drugs on the men and in their cars.
An OFCC supporter has verified that Good Samaritan hospital, a privately-owned, for-profit facility, posts "no-guns" signs. While doing his research, our suporter also noticed that it is likely the reason hospital guards were unable to do anything to stop the altercation was that they appear to be unarmed.

Ohioans have become so accustomed to seeing "no-guns" signs at hospitals, many mistakenly believe that hospitals are on the list of state-mandated victim zones. They are not. Although some legislators have indicated to OFCC that the Ohio Hospital Association lobbied to have concealed-carry in privately-owned hospitals banned by state law, the General Assembly said no.
When you see a sign on the door of your local, privately-owned hospital, it is a discriminatory message from hospital management: Persons with Ohio CHLs should stay away while armed.
Not all physicians have come under the spell of the gun ban lobby. Those Ohioans fighting battles against a misinformed medical community would do well to consider the words of Dr. Timothy M. Billups, MD, FACEP, who submitted written testimony in support of Ohio's concealed carry law. Billups is a "residency trained, Board Certified Emergency Medicine physician" with "nine years of clinical experience in several Emergency Departments in the Cleveland and Akron areas".
