Widow says office shooting victim feared co-worker

WILMINGTON, DEL. » The widow of a man killed in a workplace shooting in Maryland said Thursday that her husband was so concerned about the gunman’s explosive temper that he brought it up in church prayer sessions.

Bayarsaikhan Tudev was one of three people shot and killedWednesday at a granite manufacturer in Edgewood, Maryland.

Police said Radee Prince walked into work at Advanced Granite Solutions and shot five co-workers. Two remained in critical condition Thursday.

Tudev’s widow, Gerel- maa Dolgorsuren, said that her husband had described Prince’s volatile temper several times.

“He was always angry,” she said her husband told her.

Tudev, 53, a native of Mongolia, came to the U.S. in2005. He andhiswife settled in Arlington, Virginia, which has a large Mongolian-American community.

Dolgorsuren said her husband liked his job so much that he endured a regular commute of more than two hours. She said he always felt that he was living the American dream.

Prince was captured late Wednesday after a 10-hour manhunt during which he also shot and wounded an acquaintance in Wilming- ton, Delaware. He was ordered held on $2.1 million cash bond on attempted murder charges in that shooting during his arraignment in a Delaware court early Thursday.

Wilmington Police Chief Robert Tracy said his department is coordinating withMaryland law enforcement officials to transfer Prince back to Maryland to face charges in the workplace shooting.

Police have not disclosed a motive for Prince’s shootings, but his legal record is a portrait of a man with an alleged history ofworkplace violence, gun charges, traffic violations and problems with his probation.

A felon with 42 arrests in Delaware, court records show Prince had been fired from a Maryland job earlier this year after allegedly punching a co-worker.

He also faced charges of being a felon in possession of a gun, was habitually late paying his rent, was repeatedly cited for traffic violations, and was ordered to undergo drug and alcohol counseling in recent years.

Earlier this year, Prince was fired from JPS Marble and Granite and scared his prior employer so badly that the man tried to get a restraining order.

Prince had been a machine operator at Advanced Granite Solutions, which designs and installs granite countertops, for four months, owner Barak Caba said.
