Staff members said they've long advocated for their safety and security well before this shooting, saying violence against healthcare workers has been on the rise.
"Even before this incident I can assure you safety, safety to patients, safety for families, safety for staff is top of mind, top priority," DFW Hospital Council President and CEO Stephen Love said. "There's still times when patients, patients families, visitors do get somewhat aggressive," Love said."This really got worse during the pandemic."
In a press conference Monday, Methodist police said it has increased police staffing. CBS 11 noticed the presence of Dallas police crass outside of the hospital. A source who works inside the hospital told CBS 11 she and other employees are concerned the hospital isn't doing more to secure their safety, saying there are no visitor restrictions and no winding of people coming in and out of the hospital.
