Texas hospital “shooting” false alarm

Police in the US state of Texas have found no evidence of a shooting incident at a hospital in Houston, Texas. The Ben Taub hospital was placed on lockdown following reports of a gunman on the second floor, with claims of gunfire being heard. Patients and staff were evacuated from the facility while it was searched. Houston police later said a thorough search of all six floors of the building failed to produce a gunman or signs that anyone had been injured.
