Three Americans were killed and another injured by a security guard at a hospital in Kabul, Afghanistan on Thursday. The guard opened fire at the U.S.-run Cure International Hospital. At least one of the dead is a doctor, according to Voice of America. The guard, an Afghan police officer, is in police custody. “The attacker was a police security guard there and he opened fire on foreign nationals who went there, and unfortunately three of them have been killed,” Interior Ministry spokesman Sediq Sediqqi said. It is unclear whether the Taliban were behind the attack, though the group has claimed responsibility for several recent attacks against foreign nationals in the region. The hospital shooting is also the second insider attack by an Afghan police officer this month—two Associated Press staff were shot by a police officer in Khost, according to CBS.
