Medical Student Shot In Stomach, almost Executed

She is seen on the ground as, police say, the man attacks her. Moments later the man is seen walking the woman toward his SUV with his arms around her. He was booked on counts of attempted first-degree murder, armed robbery with a firearm, attempted armed robbery with a firearm and second-degree kidnapping. A chilling video shows a man then attempting to shoot Gold in the head three times – and the gun jamming. He got out of his vehicle and approached the man before getting shot by the alleged gunman, police said. The woman was treated for minor injuries suffered during the incident and was interviewed by police on Sunday. “I’m glad to say I went to school with him”, Peter Debbaneh, a fellow Tulane student, said.

Medical student Peter Gold, 25, was shot by an armed robber after trying to rescue a woman who was being held by the suspect.

You could receive a cash reward of up to $2,500 for the information leading only to the arrest, except on homicides, where Crimestoppers will pay half of the reward upon the arrest and half on the indictment of the responsible person(s).

Cain had been arrested recently for stealing a cell phone and has also faced past stolen vehicle and weapons charges, Harrison said. New Orleans Commander Ronnie Stevens said shortly after Gold was hospitalized that he was “doing better”.

The shooter was caught on camera snatching the female victim’s purse before taking off in a silver SUV.

Michele Adams, who taught Gold while he was an undergraduate sociology student, said that she was shocked to hear of the news but was not surprised that Gold would risk his own safety for someone else.

“There’s no greater selfless act than to stop and help someone perhaps who you don’t know, for reasons you don’t know”, police superintendent Michael Harrison told reporters.

Mr Gold and the woman were taken to hospital, where he remains in a critical condition.

“I ask that you keep Peter and his family in your thoughts and prayers”, Fitts said.

“His story has attracted worldwide attention, as people from around the world marvel at his bravery, compassion and strength”, Fitts said.
