"When the caseworker was shot, (Silverman) crouched down behind the desk to avoid him being shot," Whelan said. "He was able to reach for his weapon, and realizing it was a life or death situation, was able to engage the defendant in the exchange of gunfire."
A struggle ensued and spilled out into the hallway, Whelan said.
Another doctor and a caseworker jumped in to help Silverman and secure Plotts' weapon, he said."
.......It is not known, however, if that is why Silverman was armed, apparently against hospital policy.
