(about 1 hour later)
Police are responding to a report of gunshots at Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla, New York, according to local media. Two people in their 70s have died in an alleged murder-suicide at a New York hospital, with staff telling patients that a husband shot his wife before turning the gun on himself.
An active investigation is underway, with authorities conducting a floor-by-floor search of the building, ABC 7 reported. A call was made to authorities shortly after 9:30am local time on Wednesday, NBC 4 reported.  The deceased were found in a room on the fourth floor of Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla, New York, after shots were reported at 9:39am local time, Westchester County Police Safety Commissioner Tom Gleason said at a press conference. He added that a .38-caliber revolver was found at the scene.
The shots occurred on the fourth floor of the hospital, according to a reporter for local news website LoHud. Gleason did not confirm whether the shooter was indeed the victim's husband, referring to him only as a "visitor."
"I arrived to the hospital and I was notified by other hospital personnel that they had been evacuated and that there was apparently a shooter on the fourth floor of the hospital," Westchester Medical Center employee Jaime Kuhn told LoHud."I arrived to the hospital and I was notified by other hospital personnel that they had been evacuated and that there was apparently a shooter on the fourth floor of the hospital," Westchester Medical Center employee Jaime Kuhn told LoHud.
