Edit - Police negotiating with barricaded subject near Sayre hospital

Tried posting to BAN but couldn't get it to work. Dunno why.

Multiple shots fired. One known gunman. Police have located shooter and are trying to "resolve the situation peacefully."

Witnesses say he had a high powered rifle and explosives. No word on casualties so far.

Interrogative - summertime craziness? (It's a real thing, imo) Copycatters from other recent shootings? Something more sinister at play?

Will update as it develops.

From what it says the shooter is not at the hospital, but near it...hence the lockdown.

Sayre, Pa (WBNG Binghamton) Police are trying to talk down an armed man who is barricaded inside a house in Sayre, Pennsylvania.
At the request of Sayre Police, Guthrie Robert Packer Hospital is under limited lock down due to the "critical incident" near the campus.

This is the title of the piece:

Binghamton, NY (WBNG Binghamton) A man accused of firing several shots in Binghamton was charged with second-degree attempted murder.
Dushon Goldwire, 36, of Binghamton, will be arraigned in City Court, according to Binghamton Police.

The incident happened just after 11 a.m. Thursday on Pearne Street.
Police said Goldwire reportedly fled the scene after firing approximately six rounds. Scanner reports indicated Goldwire had possibly taken off in another vehicle.
A car believed to be involved in the shooting was found abandoned on Morgan Street. Goldwire was located later that day.
There were no reports of anyone injured.
A woman who resides on Liberty Street says she heard the gunshots. Laura Race, who has lived in the neighborhood for 15 years, feels incidents like this seem to be occurring more frequently.
"I'm very concerned, really. We don't have the means to go anywhere [else]. This is my home," Race said. "My husband is 83 and he's disabled."
Race told Action News one of the bullets hit her neighbor's house and was lodged in the door.

Oh wow, hotspot of shooting I suppose!! Either way I hope everyone is okay and this a$$hole is caught and placed in a federal pen! He better not kill himself.....TAKE HIM INTO CUSTODY!!!

Interesting to note the article now has no mention of a high powered rifle or explosives. All they're saying now is "we believe he may be armed."

Curious.
