Widow of workplace shooting victim says he 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 killed Wednesday at a granite manufacturer in Edgewood, Md.
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, Gerelmaa Dolgorsuren, told The Associated Press that her husband had described Prince’s volatile temper several times.
“He was always angry,” she said her husband told her.
Tudev, 53, was a native of Mongolia who came to the U.S. in 2005. He and his wife settled in Arlington, Va., 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 Wilmington, Del. 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 with Maryland law enforcement officials to transfer Prince back to Maryland to face charges in the workplace shooting.
Tracy said at a news conference Wednesday night that police and federal agents arrested Prince after they spotted him in the Glasgow neighborhood. He’d left his SUV near a high school, and a civilian notified authorities. Officers found him nearby, and he ran about 75 feet and threw away a gun before being arrested. No one was hurt in the capture.
