911 calls: Man killed by Duke University police fired shots inside hospital emergency room

"A patient just fired his weapon," said one 911 caller.

Officials said the man was in custody of the Durham Police Department at the time of the shooting. There was a struggle and the man managed to take the Durham officer's gun.

A Duke University police officer responding to the scene shot the man, Duke officials said. Trauma staff at the hospital rendered aid to the man who was shot, but he did not survive.

"Room 50, we have a patient that took a gun from a cop and he’s shooting," another caller said. "We need somebody around here right now."

An incident report from the shooting did not say what the man's name was or how he managed to take the gun from the officer.

As protocol, the Duke University Police Department contacted the State Bureau of Investigations.

Officers involved in this incident were wearing body cameras at the time of the shooting.

The Durham police officer was also treated for injuries at the hospital on Friday night, but officials did not say to what extent he was injured. No other patients or hospital staff were physically injured.

Duke University has around 70 police officers on staff and provides security to Duke University and its health system, according to Duke's website. Duke employs both police and security officers. The police officers with the university system are fully deputized and function as city officers.
