CLAYTON., N.C. (AP) — One person died on Monday from a shooting involving an officer after an altercation outside of a hospital in a growing Raleigh suburb, authorities said.

The shooting happened about 6 a.m. in a parking lot for UNC Health Johnston in Clayton, news outlets reported. Several law enforcement vehicles from the Johnston County Sheriff’s Office and Clayton police were soon at the scene, and police tape blocked off a portion of the hospital later Monday.

UNC Health spokesperson Alan Wolf confirmed the death in an email and said there was no ongoing threat to the public. No hospital employees were harmed, he said, and hospital security staff were escorting visitors and patients on the campus.

Wolf directed additional questions to the State Bureau of Investigation and to the Johnston sheriff’s office. The agencies didn’t immediately respond Monday to messages seeking information.

Clayton is a bedroom community of Raleigh about 15 miles (24 kilometers) southeast of Raleigh. The hospital opened in 2009 with emergency and outpatient services and now includes 50 patient rooms for in-patient care.
