SALMON CREEK, Wash. — Legacy Salmon Creek Medical Center is in lockdown tonight because of a protest outside its building.
Protesters say there is a patient inside who is being held against her will because she won’t submit to a COVID test.
That is according to a woman who started a livestream on the YouTube Channel of Ammon Bundy, who is mostly known for his 2016 takeover of the Malheur National Wildfire Refuge in Oregon.
According to Legacy, people can leave the building but can’t go in. The emergency entrance is still open, however.
A KATU crew at the hospital reports there is a heavy law enforcement presence outside the hospital.
Salmon Creek is just north of Vancouver.
