Does anyone have any news clippings, articles or other documentation that could be sent to me about a 1978, incident where a Marine stabbed two patients to death on one of the NRMC CAMPEN wards? He also stabbed a male nurse who was a boxer.
I heard that earlier in the day he had rolled a six-by killing 3 or 4 Marines and that he had been on Angle Dust (PCP), and was in the hospital for observation. It took five corpsmen to restrain the wounded Marine even after an MP had put five rounds from a .45 in him.
The Marine later died from an infection.

Dan Westrum,
I don’t remember that incident, but I do remember hearing of a Marine who tried to commit suicide and was rushed to the ER at the old NRMC CAMPEN back in the day and was rushed to surgery. I don’t know if he made it or expired in the OR?
