Multiple people were wounded before the gunman killed himself, police said.
The gunfire broke out shortly before 3:00 p.m. inside the Bronx-Lebanon Hospital.
Officers searched the building floor by floor before discovering the gunman dead inside the building. There was no immediate word on a motive but a law enforcement official said the shooter may have been a former employee.
