Emergency crews remain on the scene of a Near West Side hospital Wednesday morning, more than five hours after a person of interest in a double-murder allegedly fired shots and holed himself the facility, authorities said.

At 5:40 a.m., police remain on the scene of the Jesse Brown VA Medical Center, where a man has holed himself inside the facility with a gun, police said. No injuries have been reported.

Bobby Freeman, an admission clerk at medical center, said a man walked into the facility about 1:20 a.m. and stood behind a patient he was admitting into the hospital.

The man -- described as a 40- to 50-year old bald black man with no facial hair in a white T-shirt, blue jeans and white gym shoes -- asked for the location of the washroom and told Freeman he wanted to see a doctor, the clerk said.

The man went into the washroom, came out and walked into the emergency room, where he fired a shot into the ceiling and pointed a gun to his head, Freeman said.
