A good Samaritan who was shot along Highway 395 after he stopped to help what he thought was a person with car trouble, is listed in serious condition at a Reno hospital.
Wayne Nash, 51, is in Renown Regional Medical Center in Reno where he was taken by ambulance following the 12:35 p.m. shooting Sunday on Highway 395 in Washoe Valley near the Carson City/Washoe County border.
Nash had pulled in front of a Honda Accord on the shoulder of the northbound lanes after he thought they were having car trouble. When he began walking toward the Honda Accord, it sped away, and a round was fired at him from the vehicle, striking him in the leg.
The driver is suspected of having just shot to death 17-year-old Rene Angulo whose body was lying on the side of the road. The Honda belonged to Angulo, a high school student.
Nash, an assistant girl's basketball coach at Carson High School, is the son-in-law of former Carson City Sheriff Paul McGrath.
"He's the most generous person in the world," McGrath said of his son-in-law. "He thought somebody needed some help."
