One witness we spoke to said the suspect hopped over the pharmacy counter with a gun and ran toward the medication as people ran away.
"It's a pretty scary situation. We had no idea that it was an active shooter type of situation until we showed up and tried to go to the pharmacy," one person said.

Vacaville police said the hospital's emergency room remained open while the investigation has closed the pharmacy. Police said there is believed to be no active threat at the hospital.
