Navy Hospital Corpsman, 38, Shoots Two Sailors at Maryland Business Park
Valerie Edwards, Daily Mail, April 6, 2021
A Navy hospital corpsman shot two sailors at a business park in Maryland before breaching a gate at the nearby Fort Detrick Army base where he was killed by military personnel, authorities said.
Married, father-of-two Fantahun Girma Woldesenbet, 38, who had a rank of E-4, or petty officer third class, entered a business at the Riverside Tech Park, which is connected to the Fort Detrick base, causing people inside to flee, Frederick Police Chief Jason Lando said.

After the shooting, the medic drove about 10 minutes to Fort Detrick, where he was shot by base personnel, Lando said at a news conference.
is actually
a fairly common name.in Ethiopia.
There s a different Fantahun Woldesenbet who s a doctor in Africa, and more than one Dr. Woldesenbet in America, displacing American medical students, but not shooting up military facilities.
I don t know what an Ethiopian was doing in the US Navy before he started shooting people presumably displacing Americans who want to serve their country. A medical corpsman does what an EMT does in civilian life, and most are unarmed, even in wartime, because of the Geneva Convention.
That may explain why Woldesenbet was displaying Ethiopian rather than American marksmanship, like Sudanese immigrant Akouch Kashoual, a “refugee” who shot up a Nebraska cold storage warehouse in 2010, wounding three Hispanic employees, but killing no one but himself.
