St. Francis Health System locked down its campus Wednesday afternoon because of the situation at the Natalie Medical Building.

The Natalie building houses an outpatient surgery center and a breast health center.

Aerial footage from a TV helicopter appeared to show first responders wheeling someone on a stretcher away from the hospital building.

Dozens of police cars could be seen outside the hospital complex, and authorities shut down traffic as the investigation went on.

A reunification center for families to find their loved ones was set up at a nearby high school.

A spokesperson said that agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives were also at the scene.

The shooting marks the 233rd mass shooting for the year in the U.S., per data collected by the Gun Violence Archive.

The archive characterizes a mass shooting as four or more shot or killed, not including the shooter.
