Self-inflicted shooting prompts lockdown of Minnesota ER

North Memorial Medical Center in Robbinsdale, Minn., put its emergency room on lockdown Saturday night after a self-inflicted shooting occurred, according to a Star Tribune report.

The shooting took place just after 10 p.m. Saturday in a restroom near the hospital's ER, which prompted a temporary lockdown. Robbinsdale police responded and worked with hospital staff to reopen the unit.

A sergeant with the Robbinsdale Police Department said Sunday night he did not have information on the shooter's condition or how long the ER was on lockdown.
