A shooter was detained at West Marion Community Hospital after wounding a nurse Saturday.
The shooter had reportedly been taken to the hospital by a trooper with the Florida Highway Patrol. A struggle ensued between the two, a shot was fired and a nurse in the room was wounded in the leg.
The incident happened about 3 p.m. at the hospital at 4600 Southwest 46th Court.
“We responded to reports of an active shooter but that turned out to be incorrect,” said Ashley Lopez, a spokeswoman for Ocala Fire Rescue. Â “It all happened and ended very quickly.”
The wounded nurse was being treated at the hospital and indications were that the injury was not life-threatening.
