O’Brien was charged on May 11 in connection to a shooting that left a man with two gunshot wounds on May 3 near the hospital.
O’Brien appeared in Thunder Bay court by audio on Friday, May 22, and had her counsel, Tyler Woods, set a bail hearing for May 27.
Her co-accused Jacob Daniel Wattie, 24, and Terry Allen Pelto, 32, each face a charge of attempt murder in connection to the shooting.
Police were initially dispatched to the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre after a man had crashed his vehicle into a barricade in the hospital’s property on Sunday, May 3.
