A patient opened fire inside a busy hospital emergency room in a northern Chicago suburb the night of June 5, striking a security guard, police reported.

The brazen shooting took place in the city of Evanston at the NorthShore Hospital as the shooting suspect, who police identified as a 28-year-old local man, became agitated toward a hospital worker while being admitted, Evanston Police Department Comd. Scott Sophier said in a news release.

The suspect, Sophier said, began shooting inside the ER of Endeavor Health Evanston Hospital .

Evanston is in Cook County, just over 15 miles north of downtown Chicago.

No other injuries were reported.
