After the shooting, so many people showed up at South Bend's Memorial Hospital to check on the injured that the hospital went on lock down. Police were called in to manage the crowd.  At the same time police responded to five other shootings, including one, where a witness said the shooter was targeting police. City police had to call in County police for assistance.<ref>https://freebeacon.com/politics/south-bend-police-call-county-for-backup-after-increased-violence/</ref>
