A UMMC nurse posted this horrific message on her public Facebook page:
Tonight I was attacked by a stranger in the hospital’s parking lot I work at. I honestly thought my life was going to end after being choked multiple times, punched in the head 10x plus and threatened to be shot if I ran. He asked for my money so I verbally and physically offered him my purse, but he ignored me & he threw me the ground and kept beating me - it didn’t even seem like he wanted my money. Luckily someone drove into the parking lot after what felt like forever. After a long day of work trying to help people, I could have lost my life. Nurses are attacked verbally frequently at work and sometimes that even includes physical abuse. Despite this being a stranger in a parking lot, it felt too bizarre being so close to where I am employed. Please stay safe everyone.
UMMC issued the following statement.
UMMC Police, with support from Capitol Police, are actively investigating an assault in the stadium parking lot across from the UMMC campus that occurred last night.
We take seriously the safety of everyone on our campus and will continue to work with our partners, including Capitol Police and other law enforcement, to uphold this commitment.
The victim posted pictures of her injuries on Facebook.

The UMMC so called police are a carbon copy of JPD, Airport police!!!!! Absolutely useless.
Unfortunately she can't "carry" as the hospital is a GUN FREE ZONE! Statistics are clear: many violent crimes and most mass shootings are committed in GUN FREE ZONES, as they are low hanging fruit.
Hospitals are dangerous in general. The population that shows up to a hospital in need of medication or they’ve not taken there meds. Mental treatment isn’t cared for and likely just some crazy homeless person or a looney patient
Night time the hospitals are the busiest places and are a feeding ground for the drug addicts, mentally ill, and homeless. Unless patrols are agressive they will be inadequate across State Street.
Note to all: Pack heat/carry/strap at all times anywhere in Jackistan.
The hypocritical state government will not allow employees to carry firearms. Even when they have an enhanced carry permit and are forced to work in some of the most dangerous areas of the country.
Where are the cameras?
Get a Byrna and/or a knife, pay attention, be ready
I wish they had better security. UMMC has a great service for visitors/patient families with a car that will take you to/from your car to/from the front door. I wish they had something for their employees like that. They have the shuttle busses. It would be so nice if the employees could ride the shuttle buss to their car when the shifts change.
Sad but true
Where was the hospital police
Why doesn’t the hospital police do a better job in the employee parking lot? They have to know there are a lot of problems in the parking lot. I guess they had better things to do
UMMC needs a pedestrian walkway over State street more than Baptist and St. D., and certainly more than at Lakeland and the Ag museum. With patrols at each end of the elevated walkway and fenced parking the employees could be safer.
The only way this problem is going to get fixed is when UMMC allows conceal carry by employees, students, and the general public. But because UMMC is ran by liberals that think only the police should be armed, this will continue to happen.
UMC needs the hospital police to do a better job
@3:55 PM Probably looking for some tobacco smokers on campus to harrass.
Will some one have to be murder for the UMC police to do a better job
UMMC needs secure student and employee parking with a heavy security presence. The tower with a video camera is insufficient. Walking to the parking lot together will not stop a bullet. Nor will using the security app that follows a student or employee to their vehicle. Come on UMMC, do better, get boots on the ground.
Just watch. When all is said and done the perp will have a long rap sheet and should have already been in jail. If Jackson would lock up their criminals as they should the "police" they have now wouldn't look nearly as bad as they do now.
Sad but true
