Number 8 Jamekeyra Ulisa Levertt-Chapman Workers and patients at the Blake Hospital
in Bradenton, Florida, spotted a woman that appeared to be loading up a firearm as she
sat in the emergency room, in June of 2022. The suspect was identified as 37-year-old Jamekeyra
Ulisa Levertt-Chapman and she was seen placing bullets into a magazine that was in her purse.
Staff discretely notified the authorities and they arrived at the emergency room, within minutes. By
then, Levertt-Chapman had already been approached by a security guard. She was taken into custody
and, while her intentions were unclear, the weapon and ammo found in her possession were deemed
capable of causing considerable destruction. Levertt-Chapman had a Smith & Wesson .380 caliber
semi-automatic handgun with an incorporated laser. Her purse also contained a high-capacity
drum-style magazine loaded with 36 rounds, two magazines containing a total of 13 rounds as well
as an additional 14 loose rounds. Levertt-Chapman was charged with introducing a firearm into
a hospital and possession of a concealed weapon without a concealed weapon permit. Law enforcement
praised the staff’s handling of the situation, with a spokesperson later telling the media that
“everyone did what they’re supposed to do”. Number 7 Nestor Hernandez
In early November of 2022, police in Dallas, Texas, released harrowing footage of a shooting in
the emergency room of the Methodist Dallas Medical Center, which was carried out on October the 22nd
by a parolee named Nestor Hernandez. The incident started while he was in the delivery room with
his girlfriend, who’d given birth the previous day. Hernandez was, at the time, on parole after
serving six years of an eight-year sentence for a 2015 aggravated robbery. He was wearing an ankle
monitor and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice had allowed him to be with his partner
for the delivery of their baby. While in the room, Hernandez flew into a jealous rage and accused the
woman of cheating on him. He produced a handgun and struck her in the head multiple times with it,
before telling her that they were both going to die as was anyone who walked into the room.
Much of what followed was captured on the bodycam of Methodist Medical System Sgt. Robert Rangel,
who was investigating a separate incident when the shots rang out. Hernandez had gunned down social
worker Jacqueline Pokuaa, aged 45, when she’d walked in to provide assistance to his girlfriend.
He then fatally shot 63-year-old nurse Katie Annette Flowers in the hallway. Rangel quickly
drew his weapon and returned fire, hitting Hernandez in the leg and preventing him from
leaving the room. The parolee barricaded himself inside with his girlfriend and their newborn,
who’d become hostages in his rampage. Rangel took cover in a spot that provided a vantage
point to the delivery room door, called for backup and then attempted to talk Hernandez
down. As the latter’s girlfriend was screaming and wailing, the officer pleaded with him to
let her and the baby go safely. More officers eventually gathered around the room entrance and,
after a standoff lasting 15 minutes, moved in and took Hernandez into custody. Only audio
of the apprehension was available. Hernandez was charged with capital murder and aggravated
assault against a public servant and held in lieu of a $3 million bond in the Dallas County Jail.
Number 6 Glendar Johnson-Jackson 65-year-old Texas woman Glendar
Johnson-Jackson was brought to the emergency room of HCA Healthcare Conroe, in June of 2022,
for a mental health evaluation after she’d caused a disturbance at a local business. She was placed
on a gurney in the hallway with her arms and legs secured. Deputies had failed to find a
small caliber firearm which Johnson-Jackson had concealed in a waistband-style holster under her
dress. The woman got a hold of the pistol and squeezed off two rounds, before an EMS worker
successfully wrestled the weapon away from her. The unnamed paramedic was hailed as a hero by
law enforcement who claimed the intervention “likely saved innocent lives”. No one was
hurt in the shooting and Johnson-Jackson was medically cleared to be booked at the Montgomery
County jail. She faced charges of felony deadly conduct and a misdemeanor count of unlawful carry
of a weapon in a prohibited place. Number 5 Ashkan Amirsoleymani
A 35-year-old man went on a stabbing spree at the Encino Hospital Medical Center,
in California’s San Fernando Valley, on June the 3rd of 2022. Ashkan Amirsoleymani,
whom witnesses claimed appeared to be under the influence of narcotics, parked his car in the
middle of the street and then entered the hospital armed with a 3 to 4-inch knife. Amirsoleymani,
who was agitated and sweating profusely, demanded treatment for anxiety in the emergency room and
then proceeded to brutally stab a doctor and two nurses. Two of the victims were subsequently
pronounced as being in stable condition after being treated at a trauma center. The third,
a male nurse, had been stabbed by Amirsoleymani so badly that, according to one witness,
his “guts were out”. He was left with critical injuries but was stabilized after receiving
life-saving surgery. Parham Saadat, a dental hygienist who worked nearby, and his colleague,
Faraz Farahnik, ran across the street to help the victims as they emerged from the hospital. Saadat
described the scene as a “bloodbath”. He then closed a storage room door to keep Amirsoleymani
contained inside. Saadat later told a media outlet that he’d made eye contact with the suspect who
seemed emotionless as he peered back at him through the window. Responding law enforcement
sealed off the hospital and Amirsoleymani took refuge in one of the rooms. He was captured
without further incident after a standoff lasting several hours. He was charged with three counts of
attempted murder and held on a $3 million bond. The police were familiar with Amirsoleymani,
as he had a documented history of violence that included being detained for battery on a police
officer and resisting arrest the previous year. Number 4 Beth Keegstra
Northern California ER doctor Beth Keegstra was suspended from all the hospitals at which she
worked, following an incident that took place on June the 11th of 2018, at El Camino Hospital in
Los Gatos. 20-year-old Samuel Bardwell had been rushed to the emergency room after collapsing
during basketball practice. The young man had been diagnosed with PTSD, suffered from anxiety attacks
and was taking the drug Klonopin but hadn’t been able to get his prescription for several
days. Bardwell’s father recorded Keegstra on his cellphone as she interacted with the young man
while he was lying on the gurney, after he’d been waiting for a doctor for three hours. Bardwell was
dealing with a severe anxiety attack and was unable to rise to his feet. Keegstra pulled on
his arm and ordered him up, telling him he was the “least sick of all the people” in the ER.
She then started mocking Bardwell by asking if he wanted to be wheeled to his home in the gurney.
Keegstra wrongfully assumed that he was on drugs and asked him if he was looking to get narcotics,
but Bardwell clarified that all he wanted was a pain reliever and anxiety medication. When he
told Keegstra that he was unable to inhale properly she scoffed and replied by saying
“He can't inhale? Wow. He must be dead! Are you dead, sir?” The doctor was also heard cursing at
Bardwell several times before the video ended. No drugs were found in his system and, as a result,
he was given some fluids, supplements and pain medication. Bardwell recovered and decided to
share the footage out of concern that other patients would be treated the same by Keegstra.
The clip subsequently went viral with many users condemning her behavior which subsequently became
the focus of an internal investigation. Number 3 Miles Jackson
27-year-old Miles Jackson was taken to the emergency room at Mount Carmel St. Ann’s Hospital
in Westerville, Ohio, after he was found passed out in a nearby parking lot. The incident occurred
on April the 12th of 2021 and Jackson had been taken to the same hospital earlier in the day,
but had walked out. During his second visit, the man was met by Columbus police officers because
of outstanding city warrants for his arrest. A struggle ensued when they discovered that
Jackson had a gun concealed in his sweatpants, an aspect that local police had critically missed
during the initial pat-down. The gun went off in the melee, triggering a standoff between Jackson
and the police. He was reported to have shot the weapon two more times, prompting two Columbus
police officers and four local police officers to return fire. They shot Jackson 20 times,
hitting him in the thighs, backside, abdomen, chest, chin and ears. He was pronounced dead in
the emergency room. Protests followed the shooting with allegations of police brutality as it was
regarded as another example of racial injustice, since Jackson, a black man, had been gunned down
by white officers. An investigation was launched and no charges were ultimately brought against
them with the exculpatory crux of the matter being that Jackson had fired his weapon three
times in the emergency room prior to being killed. Today’s topic was requested by bobosmum32able,

Number 2 Melissa Anne Kennedy Phegley Florida woman Melissa Anne Kennedy Phegley
was arrested at an ER in Summerfield following an incident in which she’d pepper-sprayed a male
friend, in the spring of 2021. She’d been a passenger in the man’s vehicle when he’d
reportedly told her that he was moving away. An argument ensued that culminated with 54-year-old
Phegley deploying her pepper spray at the man. The victim suffered chemical burns to his face
and arms. When Phegley was approached by deputies at the Ocala Health Summerfield ER, she admitted
to pepper-spraying the victim but claimed to have done so because he’d been driving erratically,
causing her to hit her head on the dashboard. Phegley was arrested for domestic battery,
exhibiting damage to her face in her mugshot and a redness that was potentially indicative
of her also being affected by the pepper spray. Phegley claimed that she and the victim had
stopped several times while driving through Marion County because the vehicle had overheated due to
his rough driving. Officers noted that she’d had several opportunities to separate herself from
the man but had chosen not to. Number 1 Devonta Willis
Tennessee man Devonta Willis faced dozens of counts of aggravated arson, in February of 2022,
following an incident at Methodist South Hospital in Memphis. On February the 20th,
under unspecified circumstances, 35-year-old Willis became irate in the emergency room. He used
a cigarette lighter to set fire to a mattress then witnesses saw him open valves on two oxygen tanks,
threatening to blow up the hospital. As later indicated by an affidavit, staff and officers
had to evacuate patients and personnel out of concerns that the fire would spread. Memphis
police then moved in to take Willis into custody, at which point he became combative,
threatening to set them on fire as well. He was ultimately subdued and charged with 59 counts
of aggravated arson, vandalism of property between $10,000 and $60,000 and resisting
official detention. The fire and smoke had caused considerable damage to the room and
its contents but, fortunately, no one was hurt. Thanks for watching! Would you rather have a
