Doctor with gun causes stir near Henderson hospital

St. Rose Dominican Hospitals-Siena Campus

Henderson Police called off their search for a man with a gun at a medical office after learning the man was a doctor and that he brought the gun to give to someone, officials said.

Police received a call about 3:30 p.m. reporting a man with a rifle was entering the medical offices adjacent to St. Rose Dominican Hospitals-Siena Campus near St. Rose Parkway and Eastern Avenue. Officers began a search of the building, Henderson Police spokesman Keith Paul said.

After showing surveillance video to workers at the hospital, it was determined the man was a doctor, Paul said. Police said they went to the doctor’s office and spoke him.

“He told us he brought the .22-caliber rifle with him to clean,” Paul said. “Then he was going to give it to someone.”

Police said no crime was committed so no arrest was made. The entire incident lasted about an hour, Paul said.
