An Afghan security guard shot and killed three American doctors at a hospital in Kabul on Thursday. One of the doctors killed has been identified as E. Jerome (Jerry) Umanos, M.D. He graduated from the Wayne State University School of Medicine in 1982 and performed his pediatrics residency at the Detroit Medical Center's Children's Hospital of Michigan. "This is a terrible tragedy for his family and for the people of Afghanistan who Dr. Umanos was helping," said Valerie M. Parisi, M.D., M.P.H., M.B.A., dean of the WSU School of Medicine. "While I did not know him personally, it is clear from where he was and what he was doing that Dr. Umanos shared the spirit of helping those who need it most, which is a hallmark of our students." Dr. Maryjean Schenk, vice dean of medical education, called Umanos an "outstanding role model" for current WSU students.
