An Aultman Hospital employee was injured during a shooting Friday, according to a Facebook Post from Aultman Hospital.
Friday afternoon, James Fair was brought to the hospital, where he was placed in a private room and showed signs of mental distress, Canton Police said.
Around 8 p.m., staff entered the room to intervene, at which point Fair became combative. Police said Fair attacked two security guards and gained control of one of their firearms. He fired one shot, striking a physician's tech, police said.
The employee is in stable condition, Aultman said.
Fair was arrested and charged with three counts of felonious assault and one count of aggravated robbery, police said.
"The Emergency Department is safe and secure, and we are actively treating and accepting patients. We are working closely with the Canton Police Department to uncover all the details of what happened," Aultman said in its post.
He is expected to appear in court Monday at 9 a.m.
