Police was called to the hospital around 6.30am on Friday morning after the man made his way into the hospital armed. The weapon was not discharged and there were no injuries after specialist firearms officers helped bring the situation to an end quickly with a 29-year-old man arrested. Enquiries into the incident remain ongoing but police are looking to reassure the public that there is no ongoing risk to the public.

Second teen arrested over death of teenager Kayden Moy in Irvine
Inspector Alyssa Fullelove-McCann said: “I’m aware this incident will be concerning but I’d like to provide reassurance that it is being treated as isolated and there is no ongoing risk to the public. Officers will remain in the area while enquiries are carried out and anyone with concerns or information can speak to them or call 101.”
A spokesperson for NHSGGC said: “We can confirm we supported police with an incident in the atrium of the QEUH this morning. The atrium was closed for a short time while this was dealt with, and traffic around the hospital was temporarily diverted. There was no disruption to any of our services and the hospital is now open as normal. We would like to thank our security teams for their handling of this incident before officers arrived.
I mean, the police were like, totally called to the hospital at like 6.30am on a Friday morning because this dude just waltzed in with a weapon. But hey, no one got hurt, and the cops swooped in with their fancy firearms officers to sort things out real quick. They even managed to nab a 29-year-old suspect. So, like, the police are still looking into what went down, but they want everyone to chill because there’s no ongoing danger, you know?
Oh, and by the way, there was this huge fire at some rundown building in West Lothian. Like, fire crews had to deal with a ‘significant’ blaze, whatever that means. And then there’s this second teenager who got arrested in connection with the death of Kayden Moy in Irvine. Crazy stuff, right?
So, this Inspector Alyssa person is all like, “I know you’re probably freaking out about the hospital thing, but trust me, it’s all good. We’re treating it as a one-off, and there’s no need to panic.” And yeah, the officers are gonna stick around while they figure things out, so if you have any info or worries, just hit them up or call 101.
And get this, the hospital said they had the cops’ backs during the whole atrium debacle. They had to shut it down for a bit, and traffic had to take a detour, but everything’s back to normal now. Shoutout to the security teams for handling things before the officers showed up, right?
