Suspect Arrested in Fatal Shooting of Hospital Employee Outside Our Lady of the Lake Hospital
BATON ROUGE, LA – Authorities have arrested a suspect in connection with the fatal shooting of 58-year-old Patricia Jackson, who was killed Wednesday afternoon outside Our Lady of the Lake (OLOL) Hospital in what police believe was a domestic-related incident.
The Baton Rouge Police Department (BRPD) confirmed that the suspect, 60-year-old Roland Domino, was taken into custody shortly after 7 p.m. on the Mississippi River Bridge following an extensive search.
He has been booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison on charges of second-degree murder and illegal use of a weapon.
As of Thursday morning, his bond had not yet been set.
The fatal shooting occurred around 3:50 p.m. in the 5000 block of Hennessy Boulevard, within the hospital parking lot behind the Walgreens store at the corner of Essen Lane and Hennessy Boulevard.
Chief TJ Morse of BRPD stated that Jackson, an employee of OLOL, was leaving work when she got into a verbal altercation with Domino in the parking lot.
The argument escalated, leading Domino to allegedly open fire, striking Jackson multiple times before fleeing the scene.
Following the shooting, the hospital was placed on lockdown for approximately an hour as a precautionary measure.
The lockdown was lifted just before 5 p.m., according to a hospital spokesperson.
BRPD officers located Domino on the Mississippi River Bridge around 7:15 p.m. on Wednesday, March 19.
He was approached by uniformed officers and taken into custody without incident.
Authorities revealed that Domino has a criminal history that includes forgery, simple burglary, aggravated assault, and simple battery.
Our Lady of the Lake Health President, Chuck Spicer, expressed deep sorrow over the loss, highlighting Jackson’s role as a valued member of the hospital staff.
“Thoughts are with the family. They lost a family member—a daughter, a mother, and a sister. Our work family lost one of our own,” Spicer said. “Thanks to the first responders and our security team for acting quickly. Please give us time to heal and grieve. Thank you again to law enforcement for their presence.”
OLOL Health also issued an official statement following the incident:
*”Our Lady of the Lake is a beacon of healing for our community, and today that sacred space was shattered by a tragic act of violence. We lost a member of our work family, a mother, and a friend to many.
We want to thank law enforcement for their quick response, the team members who jumped into action to provide care, and our security personnel who ensured the safety of our facilities.
Now, we will grieve this loss as a family. We will wrap our arms around her loved ones and provide our staff with access to counseling and support during this difficult time.”*

Silver Rail Elementary School Shooting Suspect Identified as 16-Year-Old John Griffin, Who was shot and killed by Kaylub Giamanco
BEND, Oregon — The suspect in the deadly shooting at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, Oregon, has been identified in preliminary reports as 16-year-old John J. Griffin, according to information provided for this report. Kaylub Giamanco has also been identified in the supplied account as the bystander who reportedly confronted and shot the teenage suspect during the October 15, 2026, incident.
According to a family member who spoke with Channel2 NOW, Giamanco was returning home during his lunch break when he encountered the emergency near the school, where his two daughters reportedly attend classes. He lives nearby and allegedly rushed toward the school after hearing gunshots and realizing that children, including his daughters, could be in danger.
Giamanco’s reported intervention has prompted expressions of gratitude and calls for him to be recognized for his actions. However, the suspect’s identity, Giamanco’s role and the precise sequence of events should be confirmed through official statements before being presented as established facts.
The account provided to Channel2 NOW describes Giamanco as a father who was returning home during his lunch break when the shooting unfolded. After hearing gunfire near Silver Rail Elementary School, he reportedly saw the suspected shooter moving toward or entering the building.
Because his two daughters attended the school, Giamanco allegedly ran toward the scene rather than away from it. Preliminary accounts say he confronted the suspect and shot him, and the 16-year-old reportedly died.
The supplied information does not independently establish the exact location of the confrontation, the actions of those involved immediately beforehand or whether investigators have formally confirmed Giamanco’s identity as the person who shot the suspect.
Nevertheless, the account has drawn strong emotional reactions from people who view his reported actions as an attempt to protect his daughters and other children inside the school.
Some supporters have called for Giamanco to receive a medal or other formal recognition. Any official commendation, however, would need to be confirmed by the relevant authorities.
The supplied report identifies John J. Griffin, 16, as the suspected shooter in the Silver Rail Elementary School attack. The available information describes him as a Bend resident and alleges that a shotgun was used during the incident.
The reported circumstances surrounding Griffin’s death remain an important part of the investigation. Early accounts indicate that a bystander shot the suspect during the emergency, but investigators would need to confirm the individual’s identity and establish the precise sequence of events.
The suspect’s identification and the circumstances of the shooting should be attributed to law enforcement once an official statement is available.
The October 15 shooting prompted a major emergency response and left the community grieving. Preliminary information supplied for this report indicates that four victims—three children and one adult—were killed. The suspected shooter was also reported dead, bringing the reported total to five fatalities.
Five-year-old Rhoam Summer was identified in the supplied information as the first named victim. Two other children, reportedly ages 8 and 11, were also described as having died. An adult teacher was reported among the victims.
Two additional people—a 7-year-old child and a 54-year-old teacher—were reportedly transported for medical treatment in critical condition.
The identities of the other victims, the final casualty figures and the latest conditions of the injured people require confirmation from law enforcement or the appropriate authorities. The information available for this article does not establish that the teacher who died was killed while protecting students, so that characterization should not be presented as confirmed.
Bend police reportedly issued an active-shooter alert at approximately 1:17 p.m. on Thursday, warning the public of a major law enforcement presence at Silver Rail Elementary School and urging people to avoid the surrounding area.
Police, firefighters and emergency medical personnel responded to the campus. Nearby schools, including Caldera High School and Jewell Elementary, were reportedly placed under lockdown as a precaution.
Authorities also designated Journey Church, located at 61303 S Highway 97 near Goodwill and Dairy Queen, as a family reunification location. Parents and guardians were directed there to reconnect with students and receive information during the emergency response.
The reported deaths of children and an adult educator have left families and the wider Bend community facing an immense tragedy. Rhoam Summer, just 5 years old, has become one of the first children named in the reports surrounding the shooting.
As the investigation continues, families are waiting for verified information and the opportunity to grieve their loved ones. Those affected by the shooting may also face a difficult period of emotional recovery.
Giamanco’s reported actions have added another dimension to the story, with supporters expressing gratitude for a father who allegedly rushed toward danger after hearing gunshots near the school attended by his daughters. His family’s experience and the well-being of his children also deserve consideration as details emerge.
🙏💔 Our thoughts are with the families of Rhoam Summer and the other reported victims, the injured child and teacher, and everyone affected by this devastating incident. May those who lost their lives rest in peace, and may their loved ones find strength and support during this heartbreaking time.
