Woman Surrenders For Psych Care After Holding Hostages
A 6 1/2 hour siege at Still Osteopathic Hospital ended when Carol H. Brooks, a respiratory technician, surrendered to authorities after holding eight coworkers hostage. Her sister and brother in law persuaded her to seek psychiatric care. Hospital staff and officials described a planned act amid a taped life history, while police faced debates over whether to deploy tear gas given nearby patients. The eight hostages were released unharmed, and Brooks remained in hospital under sedation with mental health officials considering transfer to a psychiatric facility.
