A devoted nurse is dead and four other people are wounded after an attack at the Ambulatory Surgery Center at Good Shepherd Medical Center in Longview on Tuesday morning at around 7 a.m. 
 
 
 
 Police responded to the scene within minutes after receiving calls about stabbings occurring in the surgery center, and though the suspect fled the scene of the stabbings, they were able to apprehend him just blocks away within a very short time. 
 
 
 
 The suspect, identified as Kyron Rayshaun Templeton, 22, of Longview, fled but was taken into custody a short while later on Sixth Street in Longview. There was a scuffle during his arrest, but no officers were injured. He is now charged with murder and four counts of aggravated assault. He is being held on $2.6 million bond. 
 
 
 
 One East Texas family arrived at Good Shepherd around 5:30 Tuesday morning because their six-year-old daughter was scheduled for surgery. They say everything was running smoothly until about 7 a.m., when they witnessed a young man, now identified as Templeton, stab two people just feet away from where they were standing. 
 
 The Jacksons say they were waiting in the hospital's ambulatory surgical center when they heard people screaming. They then saw Templeton entering the building. 
 
 "He was pushing and shoving, it appeared, but now I know that is not what he was doing," said Jana Jackson. 
 
 
 
 "I saw him coming out with the knife in his hand. I just got up and stood there. I didn't know what he was going to do, so we just waited to see. I don't know what I would have done if he had come at me, but I didn't want him near my girls," said Chad Jackson. 
 
 
 
 The Jacksons say they watched as Gail Sandidge left a patient to see what was causing all of the commotion. 
 
 "She came around the corner and he stabbed her, and we saw that," said Jana. 
 
 
 
 "She was just saying he got me or I'm hurt, he got me, and that's when we realized there was blood all on the front of her scrubs," she added. 
 
 
 
 Afterwards, they say Templeton came running in their direction. 
 
 "All he kept saying was, 'You're not going to kill my mama, you're not going to kill my mama' and that's all he kept saying and when he got, like my wife said, about three or four feet from us, he had a death grip on the knife and he was just muttering and his eyes were kind of wild-looking. It was just, he was very confused," Chad recalls. 
 
 
 
 The Jacksons say hospital staff moved patients and their families into safe areas until given the ok to leave. 
 
 "Later on we saw them performing CPR and it was chaotic, but like my wife said, the staff there, they did everything they could to make sure the kids, adults, patients, everybody...was as safe as could be." 
 
 They say now they will be keeping Gail's family in their prayers as well as the other four who were injured while trying to explain to their young daughters what exactly had happened. 
 
 "We're just telling them there's bad people out there. There's not a lot of things we can do about the craziness in the world. That's why we go to church, they pray, they say their prayers every night. What more can you say?" Chad said. 
 
 
 
 All patients with surgeries scheduled for today and tomorrow at Good Shepherd Medical Center have been rescheduled for a later date. The Jacksons say they will return to this hospital for their daughter's surgery, because they believe hospital staff did everything they could have done to keep everyone safe.

 A 22-year-old man has been charged with murder in the stabbings, which happened around 7 a.m. Tuesday at the Ambulatory Surgical Center of Good Shepherd Medical Center in Longview. 
 
 Gregg County Jail booking records show Kyron Rayshawn Templeton of Longview is also accused of four counts of aggravated assault. His bond has been set at $2.6 million. Jail records didn't list an attorney for Templeton. 
 
 Officer Kristie Brian, a Longview police spokeswoman, said it's not yet clear what led to the attack. 
 
 The slain nurse, Gail Sandidge, had been on the hospital staff since 1978, hospital CEO Steve Altmiller said at a Tuesday afternoon news conference. "She was protecting her patients by an act of courage, and she lost her life as a result," he said. 
 
 Of the four others wounded, one was in critical condition, one was in good condition and two were treated at the hospital and discharged, Altmiller said. 
 
 Templeton was at the hospital with his mother when he went on a knife-slashing rampage, Longview police said. Templeton fled on foot but was caught nearby, subdued after a brief struggle and arrested, Brian said. 
 
 Neither Templeton nor the arresting officers were injured, Brian said. A knife believed to have been the weapon used in the attack has been recovered, she said. 
 
 Surveillance video was being reviewed by the hospital's security team and would be turned over to police, said Kenny Jernigan, Good Shepherd's security director. 
 
 Good Shepherd Medical Center is a 425-bed acute-care hospital about 120 miles southeast of Dallas. All surgeries scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday were postponed and were being rescheduled, Altmiller said. 

 (CNN) -- Gail Sandidge rushed to help when screams rang out during a stabbing at a Texas medical center on Tuesday. 
 
 Horrified patients and family members watched as a man stabbed the nurse in the chest. 
 
 "She was just saying...'I'm hurt. He got me,'" witness Jana Jackson told CNN affiliate KLTV. "And that's when we realized there was blood all on the front of her scrubs." 
 
 Hours later, authorities pronounced Sandidge dead. Police said four others were wounded when 22-year-old suspect Kyron Templeton attacked visitors and employees Tuesday morning at Good Shepherd Ambulatory Surgical Center in Longview, Texas. 
 
 The hospital's president told reporters that the dedicated nurse died trying to save her patients. 
 
 "Nurses are protectors by nature. And Gail, she fit that profile," said Steve Altmiller, head of Good Shepherd Health Systems. "She was protecting her patients in an act of courage today, and in so doing, she lost her life." 
 
 He described Sandidge as "a seamstress, a Sunday-school teacher of 2-year-olds, a huge Baylor fan, a mother, a grandmother, a healer, a trainer, a mentor, a nurturer." She had worked for the hospital for nearly two decades, he said. 
 
 Police arrested Templeton on a street near the hospital, KLTV reported. He was arraigned on one count of first-degree murder and four counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon Tuesday. But authorities haven't identified a motive, a police spokeswoman said. 
 
 Witnesses told KLTV they saw a man running through the surgery center around 7 a.m. with a hunting knife, screaming, "You're not going to kill my mother." 
 
 "He had a death grip on the knife and he was just muttering and his eyes were kind of wild-looking," said Jackson's husband, Chad. "It was just, he was very confused." 
 
 Moments later, the surgery center about 120 miles east of Dallas turned into a crime scene. 
 
 Some staff members rushed patients into safe areas. Others performed CPR on the victims, Chad Jackson told KLTV. 
 
 One of the injured victims remained in critical condition Tuesday afternoon, Altmiller said. Another is in good condition. Two others, including a hospital employee, were treated and released, he said. 
 
 Templeton is being held on $2.6 million bond as the investigation continues, KLTV reported. 
 
 Meanwhile, the Jacksons say they're trying to explain what happened to their two young daughters. 
 
 "We're just telling them there's bad people out there," Chad Jackson told KLTV. "There's not a lot of things we can do about the craziness in the world. That's why we go to church. They pray. They say their prayers every night." 
 
 And now, he said, Sandidge and her family will be in their prayers.

– A Texas nurse's final act was to protect her patients as a knifeman ran amok at a medical center. Gail Sandidge went to help when she heard screams at Longview's Good Shepherd Medical Center, located about 120 miles southeast of Dallas. She was fatally stabbed in the chest by an assailant who wounded four other people, one of them critically, CNN reports. "Nurses are protectors by nature. And Gail, she fit that profile," the hospital's president says. "She was protecting her patients in an act of courage today, and in so doing, she lost her life." He described the nurse, who the AP reports had been on the hospital's staff since 1978, as a "seamstress, a Sunday-school teacher of 2-year-olds, a huge Baylor fan, a mother, a grandmother, a healer, a trainer, a mentor, a nurturer." A 22-year-old suspect was arrested near the hospital and has been charged with first-degree murder. Witnesses say the attacker ran through the surgical center saying "You're not going to kill my mother" and brandishing a hunting knife. "He had a death grip on the knife and he was just muttering and his eyes were kind of wild-looking," a witness tells KLTV.
