A 50-year-old man is facing a felony charge after he allegedly threatened to shoot staff members at Norton West Louisville Hospital Thursday morning, telling employees he would bring a dozen friends back to open fire, according to court documents. Louisville Metro Police arrested Artius Graham after he was escorted out of the facility and later tracked down at a nearby bus stop.
According to WBKO, Graham told hospital staff members he was going to get 12 of his friends to come shoot them all, a threat detailed in court documents tied to his arrest. Security video reportedly shows four guards escorting Graham out of the hospital before police caught up with him at a nearby bus stop. He was arrested on a charge of second-degree terroristic threatening and is due in court for his arraignment Friday morning.
Louisville Metro Police officers responded to the hospital Thursday morning following reports of a man making active threats against staff, according to WHAS11. Officers arrived after staff reported the verbal threats, leading to Graham’s arrest.
