Reports are coming in that there has been a shooting incident at the Ben Taub Hospital in Houston, Texas. Officials at the hospital are calling this an “active shooter” incident, and over 200 police officers have responded so far.
The Ben Taub Hospital is part of the Houston municipal hospital system and named after Ben Taub, a Jewish real estate developer and philanthropist from Houston, Texas. The attack comes amid a wave of anti-Semitic threats across the United States, a situation which President Trump has been criticized for not commenting about sooner.
