An Army physician's assistant who once lived in Havre de Grace was among the 13 people killed in a shooting rampage at Fort Hood, Texas, last week.
Lt. Col. Juanita L. Warman, 55, grew up and went to high school and college in the Pittsburgh area, but had moved in the past few years to Havre de Grace, where she lived with her husband, Philip, a lawyer, according to published reports. According to the Killeen, Texas, Daily Herald Web site, she had been assigned to the 1908th Medical Company in Independence, Mo.
She is listed on The Healthgrades Web site lists her as having worked at the Perry Point Veterans Administration Medical Center in Cecil County, but that could not be confirmed.
Quoting a half-sister, Kristina Rightweiser, the Associated Press reported that Warman had two daughters and six grandchildren and was from a military family. Their father, who died in 2007, was a "career military man." Rightweiser served in the Air Force, and Rightweiser's brother is in the Coast Guard. The two women didn't grow up together, but reconnected after their father's death, Rightweiser said.
Warman "loved the Army and loved her family very much," she said in a message sent through Facebook and quoted by the AP.
Another sister, Margaret Yaggie of Roaring Branch in north-central Pennsylvania, was quoted in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review saying Warman worked to put herself through school at the University of Pittsburgh.
Warman spent most of her career in the military, according to Yaggie.
Maryland property records show Philip T. Warman as the owner of a home on Seneca Way, on the Havre de Grace waterfront. He could not be reached for comment, and other family members in Pennsylvania and Alabama declined to speak with a Baltimore Sun reporter.

If the Baltimore Sun doesn't even know that there is no such position as a "physician's assistant"; what other untruths are they trying to throw at us?
For such a sensitive article why can't you get the honored 's profession correct?
