Sunshine and seasonable temperatures are in store for much of the Southeast, while chilly air affects the Upper Midwest. Meanwhile, warmth will build over the central and southern Plains on gusty winds. As a storm moves out of the South- west, severe thunderstorms, some with the risk of bringing tornadoes, will ignite from parts of west Texas to central Nebraska late in the day.

He told co- workers he had to meet some guests at the front gate and would be right back. Minutes later, Umanos and two of his American guests were dead, gunned down by an Afghan police security guard. Another American was wounded. A day after Thursday's at - tack at the hospital run by a U.S.-based Christian char- ity, those colleagues were mourning the pediatrician known as "Dr. Jerry" who treated children and helped train Afghan medical work - ers. The identities of the Americans gunned down be- side Umanos have not been released, and other details of the latest attack on foreign- ers in Kabul, such as the mo- tive of the gunman, remain unclear. Two of the dead vis- itors were described only as a father and son. Thursday began at the hospital like most other days, with the 57-year-old Chicago pediatrician talk - ing with Afghan doctors and checking on the prog- ress of the 30-40 children who are patients, according to Dr. Noor Ahmad, a phy- sician at Cure. Umanos had been working in Kabul for at least seven years. No one thought much about it when he received a call to come to the hospital's front gate to escort some vis - itors inside, Ahmad said. "Then, inside the hospital, a terrible sound of guns was heard," he said. By the time terrified staff reached the scene, Uma- nos and two other men were dead, and an Ameri- can woman was wounded in the left hand and chest, Ah- mad said. He said he never learned who the visitors were but assumed they were trainers for a disaster pre - paredness course the hospi- tal was planning for Sunday. "It's very terrible. I didn't sleep last night," Ahmad said. Cure International Hospi - tal has about 100 beds and a staff of 26 doctors and 64 nurses. It is located on the western outskirts of Kabul, near the hollowed-out ruins of Darulaman Palace that was destroyed by the civil war in the 1990s. The hospital compound has a front gate and a secu - rity post set about 50 yards back, with the main building set farther back in a court- yard. Umanos went to the gate at about 9:50 a.m. to greet and sign in his visitors, said Hafiz Khan, police chief of Kabul's District 6. As the party walked to - ward the hospital and ap- proached the security post, the police guard raised his Kalashnikov rifle and opened fire, Khan said. "After that, he put the barrel of the Kalashnikov to his stomach and shot him - self," Khan said, confirming the account by Cure Interna- tional. Earlier, an Afghan po- lice spokesman had said the attacker was shot by other security forces. Umanos' colleagues saved his killer's life by operating on his wounds. The shooter was recovering Friday in an Interior Ministry hospital, Khan said AfghAnistAn Slain US doctor's colleague recalls attack Familyphoto—theassociatedpress dr. Jerry Umanos and his wife, Jan schuitema are shown in this undated photo. Umanos was one of three physicians killed thursday when an afghan security guard opened fire at a hospital in Kabul, afghanistan.
