Three people were shot at a medical facility in Delaware County Thursday afternoon. The shooting happened in a patient's room around 2 p.m. in the psychiatric unit at the Mercy Wellness Center, which is adjacent to Mercy Fitzgerald Hospital in Darby. A caseworker, identified as 53-year-old Theresa Hunt, was killed in the shooting and a doctor, identified as Dr. Lee Silverman, suffered a graze wound. The District Attorney identified the shooting suspect as psychiatric patient Richard Plotts. Both the doctor and Plotts were taken to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania for treatment. Plotts is listed in critical condition. The incident is still under investigation. A motive is not yet known.

Mercy Fitzgerald Hospital released a statement Thursday night:

“We continue to pray for the victims and their families. As this is an ongoing investigation, we remain focused on working with the Delaware County Police Departments to understand fully the details of the event and to do all we can to assist those affected.

We are thankful for the responders to this incident, the many law enforcement professionals who are a part of the investigation, and the outpouring of support we have received from our community.”
