The incident caused a temporary lockdown at the hospital, local media outlets say.
"It's just scary, and it's just a really sad thing that it's going to happen at a place where you're really trying to help people and save them," Dr. James Higgins told KABC. "Instead, it's almost like the opposite is occurring right in front of the hospital."
