Official INTEGRIS Media Statement:
Late last night, our public safety officer responded to a report of a person loitering outside of the building adjacent to the hospital. The public safety officer approached the individual and asked them to leave the premises. In the process of leaving the premises, the subject claimed to have a gun; however, no weapon was observed. Out of an abundance of caution, our public safety team notified the Enid Police Department and advised them that the individual was leaving the area and headed east toward the police department.
As word spread of the initial encounter, local authorities received a phone call saying there was an individual with a gun inside the hospital, which initiated a response from local authorities. Out of an abundance of caution, police searched the building and reviewed surveillance cameras concluding that no armed individual entered any of our facilities. Any reports of an armed individual inside the hospital are false.
The hospital and clinics continue to operate without disruption, maintaining a safe environment. The safety and security of our patients, visitors and caregivers remain our highest priority. We appreciate the prompt response and partnership of local law enforcement and our public safety team.
