Healthcare Security Weekly, September 15, 2008
Portland (ME) police are continuing their investigation into the murder of a 27-year-old security guard at Mercy Hospital. James Angelo was shot and killed outside the Portland hospital around 4 a.m. on September 7.
Police said witnesses described two people fleeing the scene of the shooting. After hearing gunshots, hospital employees found Angelo wounded in a fenced-in hospital parking lot. He was treated in the emergency room before being transferred to Maine Medical Center, where he died, reported The Boston Globe. Angelo and his family moved to Portland from the Republic of Sudan in 1995. He was a former youth soccer coach who hoped to one day become a police officer, the Globe reported.
