Delaware police identified 23-year-old John Wallace-Bey of New Castle as the alleged gunman in a deadly workplace shooting at Wilmington Hospital, where one person was killed and another is hospitalized in critical condition. Wallace-Bey was tracked to Philadelphia’s Olney section and arrested, facing murder and attempted murder charges as he awaits extradition to Delaware. Investigators say the attack appeared targeted and isolated, prompting a lockdown, patient diversions, and a large law-enforcement response while they review HR records and other leads to determine a motive. The two victims were 19-year-old men, whose identities have not yet been released, and the incident has raised concerns about safety at local facilities.
