Multiple sources including The New York Times and the Associated Press have reported on an apparent "random act of violence" occuring earlier today at about 4:30pm Eastern time.
According to the news reports, the shooter took a cab to the Parkwest Medical Center in Knoxville and inexplicably opened fire upon entering near an employee break area and the trauma department.
The motive is unknown, and victims' names have not yet been released. The shooter, who is not believed to have known the victims, killed one person (reportedly a nurse employed by Parkwest Hospital) before turning the gun on himself and taking his own life. Two others were injured. For more information, see The New York Times report or WBIR.com, a Tennessee NBC affiliate for more. Two Dead in Knoxville Tenn. Hospital ShootingSource: www.about.com
