Nobody was hurt when a Casper man entered the hospital after midnight on March 4 and fired seven times at two employees. Police soon caught the man in a tunnel beneath the hospital.

Mitchell Taylor faces charges including aggravated assault and is being held on $500,000 bond. He allegedly told police he was high on LSD and suicidal at the time.
