A video from a viewer shows authorities and K9 around the building. LCPD and the the Calcasieu Sheriff’s Office are currently working the situation.

I know that hospital well. It's surrounded by the hood, so who knows what could be happening.

friend of mine worked security at a hospital in the Jacksonville, FL ghetto area. They weren't allowed to have firearms but constantly had to deal with gang members hitting up the hospitals for revenge attacks.

That’s the word right now. Sounds like crackhead activity to me. Gotta be off your meds or on a lot of them to think the gift shop is sitting on a bunch of cash.

She says her floor is lockdown but otherwise normal. They announced a security alert on intercom but no craziness.
