Patterson has become a person of interest following his suspected involvement in the Atlanta shooting.
Around midday, Patterson went inside the Northside Hospital medical facility and began shooting, police said.
A law enforcement source told CBS News’ Pat Milton that the suspect became agitated while waiting for an appointment and pulled out a handgun and opened fire.

After leaving the building, located in Atlanta’s Midtown neighborhood, the suspect allegedly stole an unattended truck at a nearby gas station and drove north to Cobb County.
Atlanta police said they received an alert that the vehicle’s license plate was spotted on license plate-reading cameras near a facility close to the Atlanta Braves’ ballpark.
Cobb County Police Chief Stuart VanHoozer said during Wednesday night’s briefing that after receiving multiple calls from the public about possible sightings of the suspect, an operator flagged to a 911 dispatcher that one of the sightings appeared legitimate.
An undercover officer, who later spotted and confronted the suspect, called for backup and the arrest was made, VanHoozer said.
