The nurse, identified as 28-year-old Kelly Dyer, was working at the Methodist University Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, when a gunman opened fire in the emergency room. Dyer was shot while trying to help a patient, and she later died from her injuries. The gunman, identified as 38-year-old Ezekiel Kelly, was taken into custody after a manhunt that lasted several hours. Kelly is facing multiple charges, including murder and attempted murder. Dyer’s death has been met with an outpouring of grief and sadness from her family, friends, and colleagues. She was described as a compassionate and caring nurse who was always willing to go the extra mile to help others. “Kelly was a bright light in our lives,” said her mother, Linda Dyer. “She was always so full of joy and laughter, and she loved nothing more than helping others.” Dyer’s colleagues at the hospital said she was a dedicated and hardworking nurse who will be deeply missed. “Kelly was an exceptional nurse who always put the needs of her patients first,” said Methodist University Hospital CEO Kevin Lofton. “Her death is a tragic loss for our hospital and for the entire community.” Dyer’s death has also sparked a debate about the safety of healthcare workers.
