The Hendry Regional Medical Center was placed on lock down Tuesday afternoon after a nearby shooting, according to the Clewiston Police Department.

The lock down was put in place after two people involved in a shooting on Aztec Avenue walked into the hospital, police said. They were later transported to another hospital out of the area.

The lock down was lifted around 5 p.m. after the area was deemed clear by authorities, police said. There is no description for the suspect at this time.

Anyone with information is asked to call the police department.
