Limestone Medical Center on lockdown, alleged active shooter 

Adam “Skinner” Lenamond, 73, of Groesbeck, is alleged to be involved in a standoff with authorities at Limestone Medical Center after being found guilty Thursday, Feb. 16, of continuous sexual assault of a child.

The standoff began early Thursday afternoon and had continued through 6:15 p.m. when this report was filed.

Lenamond was out on bond and left the courtroom Thursday while the jury deliberated, according to a report from KWTX. When the jury returned with a guilty verdict, Lenamond was not in the courtroom. 

Limestone County Sheriff's office received a report of a man with a gun at Limestone Medical Center in Groesbeck at about 1:30 p.m.

“Upon arrival, deputies observed a man sitting in the back parking lot of the hospital in a vehicle with a handgun,” said Ryan Howard, Texas Department of Public Safety Sergeant.

At about 2:30 p.m. Thursday, Leeann Freeman, with LMC Public Relations, said Limestone Medical Center in Groesbeck was placed on full lockdown.

There was a high police presence, and law enforcement had barricaded all entrances to LMC.

Groesbeck High School was under a “secure,” which is a soft lockdown, according to a GISD press release. Due to all campuses being "secure," according to its Standard Response Protocol, school dismissal could have been delayed, including student drivers, buses and parent pickups.  The high school was taken off “secure” at 3:22 p.m.

Groesbeck Police Department arrested Lenamond Dec. 1, 2021. He was charged with four counts of aggravated sexual assault on a child; one count of indecency with a child, sexual contact; and one count of sex abuse of a child, continuous, victim under 14. 

LMC Emergency Medical Services crews cannot get to their trucks to leave, so Mexia EMS was on standby as of 2 p.m., Fire Chief Rob Lafoy said. 

“As of 7 p.m., law enforcement agencies are in talks to get a peaceful surrender from the suspect.  The hospital is on lockdown, and we ask that you please understand the situation and do not come to the hospital unless there is an absolute emergency,” Howard said.
