Inside a working hospital in Michigan City, Indiana — a place built for healing — violence interrupted the ordinary rhythms of care when a police officer was shot while confronting a suspect already sought for armed vehicle theft in Chicago. The incident, contained within Franciscan Hospital's walls, ended with the suspect in custody, but left unanswered questions about how danger found its way into so vulnerable a space. It is a reminder that the boundaries between the streets and the sanctuaries we build against them are never as fixed as we hope.
