Police Investigate Shooting: 


On September 7th, 2022, at about 11:42 am, SLPD received reports of gunfire near Kaiser Hospital, 2500 Merced Street.  Upon arrival, officers located a GardaWorld carrier (armored guard) suffering from a gunshot wound to the back side of his upper torso. 

He was exiting the hospital's east side of the campus with a messenger bag carrying currency.

Once outside the hospital, the victim was shot by one suspect who fled on foot.  Police believe the suspect ran to an awaiting getaway vehicle.

There is no active threat to this area, although the hospital was placed on "lockdown" as a precaution.

The victim, in this case, is in critical condition.   The guard is a 60-year-old male and has been with the company for nearly 40 years.

"This is an active investigation, and detectives were summoned to the scene immediately."

"Based on what we know at this time, this was a brazen daytime shooting on the Kaiser Hospital campus.  We are grateful no one else was injured during the commission of this crime, but words cannot express how tragic this is," said Lieutenant Matthew Barajas

Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to call the SLPD at 510-577-2740.
