The Sheriff’s Department received a call around 6 p.m. about a man who said he was armed with an AR-15 rifle and a bomb at the hospital, was experiencing a mental health crisis and heard voices in his head that told him to shoot patients at the children’s hospital, Dicus said.

An all-clear was declared at Loma Linda University Children's Hospital on Wednesday evening after a 'swatting' call reporting an armed man.

The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department responded to Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital Wednesday evening following reports of a possible shooter. By 8 p.m., the massive law enforcement presence that swarmed on the hospital was beginning to pack up and leave as the facility was being cleared and no threat was immediately discovered.
