THIS is the moment a bleeding Maryland sailor pleads for help after a medic shot two people before himself being gunned down.

Police say US Navy medic Fantahun Woldesenbet, 38, shot two sailors with a rifle in Frederick, Maryland, on Tuesday morning.





Footage shows a wounded sailor who was shot near the Fort Detrick Army base entering a business and pleading for help while covered in blood.

He appears to have blood running down his back. 

The victim points out the window and walks over to employees at a desk, who jump up and run to shut their doors.

Both people shot were airlifted to a hospital in Baltimore, where one remains in critical condition and the other is expected to be released Wednesday.  

The shooter reportedly opened fire on people as they tried to escape, sources told ABC7.
