The Kaiser Permanente medical campus in Vacaville was briefly locked down on Sunday after a person allegedly made a violent threat against the hospital.
Police were dispatched to the hospital around 8 a.m. after receiving a report from security of an agitated woman who threatened to shoot employees there. The woman was reportedly upset that the hospital refused to admit her husband for an unknown ailment, according to police dispatches reviewed by Solano NewsNet.
Police asked hospital security to order a shelter-in-place as they worked to de-fuse the situation in the medical center’s parking lot. It was not clear from dispatches if the threat was deemed credible.
Two people were detained by police just before 8:30 a.m. A short time later, police gave the all-clear for the shelter-in-place to be lifted.
No other information was available as of Sunday morning.
