Video captured by Fox 32 Chicago shows dozens of officers swarming the lobby of the hospital’s Feinberg Pavilion. Several of the officers were seen carrying large shields.

Just before 10:30 p.m. local time, the hospital tweeted about the incident, saying it had been on lockdown for an “Armed Intruder alert.” The hospital then confirmed that there was no active threat and normal operations had resumed.
