GREAT FALLS, Mont. — A Glasgow hospital official says the woman killed in a sniper-style shooting in the hospital's parking lot had just returned from an emergency call when she was shot in the back.

The victim, 37-year-old Melissa Greenhagen, was a part-time emergency medical technician and Valley County's clerk of state District Court.

Clay Berger, emergency medical services director at Frances Mahon Deaconess Hospital, told the Great Falls Tribune that Greenhagen was walking to her car when she was fatally shot Saturday evening.

A female nurse and her husband were wounded after rushing to her aid. The two haven't been identified.
