Officers confronted the suspect inside the Hospital and fatally shot him.
ENID, Okla. — Two people, including the suspected gunman, were killed late Sunday night in a shooting at Integris Health Enid Hospital, according to the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI).
OSBI public information manager Hunter McKee stated that the incident began shortly before 11 p.m. on Sunday, August 17, 2025, when officers with the Enid Police Department were dispatched to a report of a possible domestic dispute at a residence near the hospital.
During the response, officers identified an adult male suspect connected to the call and located his vehicle in the parking lot of Integris Health Enid.
As officers attempted to make contact, the suspect opened fire on them before entering the hospital.
Once inside, the suspect fired multiple rounds, striking James Bode, a hospital security guard, who sustained critical injuries and later died.
Officers then confronted the suspect inside the facility and fatally shot him.
McKee confirmed that no patients, medical staff, or responding officers were injured in the incident.
The hospital and surrounding area were secured overnight and remain an active crime scene as OSBI, the Enid Police Department, and additional law enforcement agencies continue their investigation.
Officials emphasized that the threat has been contained and there is no danger to the public.
The identity of the deceased suspect has not yet been released pending notification of next of kin.

Former Texas Worship Minister and Christian Musician Jon Sheptock Arrested on Child Sexual Abuse Material Charges
MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Texas — A married Christian musician and former worship minister who once performed at a rally for former President Donald Trump has been arrested on multiple child sexual abuse material (CSAM) charges, authorities confirmed.
According to officials, Jon Sheptock, a former minister at First Montgomery Baptist Church, was taken into custody on September 26 by detectives from the Montgomery County Constable’s Human Trafficking and Child Exploitation Unit.
He faces charges of possession and production of child pornography following a detailed investigation into allegations of long-term misconduct.
The arrest was based on testimony from a woman who alleged that Sheptock stole a photograph of her approximately nine years ago, when she was 17 years old.
The victim told investigators that after sending her the image, Sheptock demanded explicit photographs and later sent her a video depicting a violent assault, warning that he “did not want that to happen to her.”
Court records further indicate that Sheptock showed the victim nude images of both adults and minors on his computer.
Investigators allege that the misconduct continued as recently as October 2023, when Sheptock reportedly sent a text message to the victim containing a nude image of young girls.
Before his arrest, Sheptock was widely known as a Christian recording artist and motivational speaker.
His now-deleted website biography stated that he was born without arms and with one leg shorter than the other, yet went on to describe himself as a “thriving Christian recording artist and speaker.” He has been married for 26 years and is the father of three daughters.
In a public statement, First Montgomery Baptist Church confirmed that Sheptock was immediately removed from all ministry responsibilities following his arrest.
The church emphasized that Sheptock did not hold any position involving direct contact with children, and there is no indication that minors associated with the church were involved or affected.
Sheptock gained wider public attention in January 2022, when he performed the national anthem at a rally for then-President Donald Trump, according to The Independent.
If convicted, Sheptock faces a potential prison sentence ranging from two to twenty years.
The investigation remains ongoing, and authorities are encouraging anyone with additional information to contact the Montgomery County Constable’s Office Human Traffic.
