Wyoming man accused of hospital shooting used security door
A Wyoming man accused of firing several shots inside a medical center entered through a back security door while under the influence of LSD.
The Casper Star-Tribune reports that a hearing for 20-year-old Mitchell Taylor on Thursday included police testimony about the March 4 shooting at Wyoming Medical Center in Casper.
Taylor is charged with two counts of aggravated assault, property damage and use of a firearm while committing a felony.
Police say Taylor fired several rounds from a 9 mm handgun at two employees around 1 a.m. before he was arrested in a tunnel beneath the hospital.
No one was injured.
Taylor’s attorney told a judge that the shooting was “the result of a bad acid trip.”
The judge refused a request to lower Taylor’s $500,000 bond.
