COLUMBUS, Ga. (AP) - Authorities in west Georgia say one person is dead and two more are wounded in a shooting at a hospital.

Columbus Police Chief Ricky Boren confirms that at least one of the three victims in Thursday's shooting at Doctors Hospital has died.

Police say they wounded the suspect and that he is being treated. The chief says another person is in critical condition.

Boren says one officer responding to a call of shots fired saw an armed man leaving the hospital and saw him shoot a bystander in the head.

The officer followed the suspect to another part of the parking lot where the suspect opened fire on the police.
