‘I’ve been shot, please help me.’ When a shooting victim ran inside a Maryland business, this man sprung into action
Garett Wagner was working Tuesday morning when a man wearing military fatigues and covered in blood walked into the Nicolock Paving Stones facility in Frederick, Maryland.
“‘I’ve been shot. Please help me. There’s an active shooter, he’s still chasing me,” the man said, according to Wagner, the operations manager at Nicolock.
The wounded man was 26-year-old US Navy Hospitalman Casey Nutt, according to a news release from Frederick officials.
Nutt was one of two sailors who were shot and wounded at what police called a “military institution” in the Riverside Tech Park in Frederick, not far from the Nicolock business.
WASHINGTON (AP) â A Navy medic who shot and wounded two U.S. sailors before he was killed by police on a nearby Army base was a laboratory technician assigned to a Naval medical research center on the base, according to his service record and a military official.
Fantahun Girma Woldesenbet, 38, and the two men he shot Tuesday at a government-leased military warehouse were all assigned to Fort Detrick in Frederick, authorities have said.
Employees at Nicolock Paving Stones, a business located in the same office park as the warehouse, assisted one of the wounded sailors, Navy Hospitalman Casey Nutt, 26, of Germantown, Maryland, after he fled the scene of the initial shooting. Nutt was released from a hospital on Tuesday evening, authorities said in a news release.
