3 American Workers Shot, Killed In Afghan Hospital, A Chicago pediatrician who “felt called” to move to Afghanistan to treat children and train physicians was among three Americans killed at a Kabul hospital Thursday by an Afghan guard.

In an attack not unlike the so-called “green-on-blue” incidents, the police guard opened fire on the pediatrician and four others with him at the CURE Hospital’s gates, Kabul police said.

Two others were killed, a third was injured, and a fourth person was unharmed.

Dr. Jerry Umanos had practiced medicine in inner-city Chicago.

Umanos was affiliated with LCHC for more than 25 years, said Dr. Bruce Rowell, the hospital’s chief clinical officer.

“He was a loving, caring physician” who served his patients “with the utmost of respect,” he said.
