DARBY, Pa. (WPVI) --
One person is dead and two others are injured after a gunman opened fire in an office on the campus of Mercy Fitzgerald Hospital Thursday afternoon.
It was around 2:30 p.m. when Darby Borough Police were called out to the hospital's wellness center, located across the street from the main building on Lansdowne Avenue, for the report of a shooting.
Officials say a patient came into the psychiatric unit on the third floor of the building and, for some unknown reason, opened fire on his case worker, killing her.
The preliminary investigation indicates that the gunman was then shot three times when a doctor opened fire on him. The suspect responded by returning fire on the doctor.
Authorities say a number of employees then wrestled the suspect to the ground and held him until police arrived.

Both the doctor and suspect were transported to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania.
The doctor suffered graze wounds in the shootout, but is expected to be released.
The suspect is currently in critical condition.
Two guns were retrieved at the scene - one belonging to the suspect and the other, which is thought to belong to the doctor.
District Attorney Jack Whelan says the scene is now secured. He also says that it is believed that the doctor acted in self defense.
The name's of the victims and suspect have not been released. Witnesses are being interviewed.
