Edgewood Shooting Victim Recovering Months Later: Report

NORTH EAST, MD — One of the survivors in the deadly workplace shootings in Edgewood is reportedly working to regain his balance and is adjusting to a partial loss of hearing months after the massacre. Enoc Villegas Sosa, of North East, was hospitalized for two weeks following the shooting at Advanced Granite Solutions in Edgewood on Oct. 18, 2017.

After noticing commotion that day, Sosa said he asked his co-worker, Radee Prince, what was going on. He did not realize at the time that Prince was responsible for the violence.

Prince told him to "'shut up'" and then Sosa heard a "boom," the Cecil County resident said in an interview broadcast Thursday night on WBAL. Sosa said he felt hot and "prayed, prayed prayed."

More than three months later, Sosa is deaf in his right ear and has been working to regain his balance and other skills at the University of Maryland Rehabilitation and Orthopaedic Institute, WBAL reported.

"It's amazing how fast he recovered and continues to recover," his wife, Amy Sosa, told the news station.

The recovery comes following a scare that happened shortly after he left the hospital.

Four days after he was discharged in November 2017, Sosa had to return to the hospital due to medical complications, according to WJZ, which reported he required an additional surgery.

Throughout his recovery, Sosa has maintained a positive attitude, telling WJZ he considers himself a "miracle."

Authorities said three died and two were critically injured when Prince, 37, opened fire before 9 a.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 18, at the countertop business where he worked in Emmorton Business Park. He was apprehended approximately 10 hours later after allegedly injuring a sixth person in a shooting in Wilmington, Delaware.

Prince is being held in Delaware pending trial there for attempted murder. He was indicted by a grand jury on murder, attempted murder and weapons charges in Harford County last month.

"Prince remains in custody in Delaware awaiting trial for an attempted murder alleged to have occurred on the same day," Harford County State's Attorney Joseph Cassilly said in a statement in January. "Prosecutors from both states previously indicated in a joint press release that Prince was to be tried in Delaware first because Delaware law does not provide for parole, whereas parole may be available in Maryland. Upon completion of the Delaware case, the State's Attorney's Office will seek to have him returned to Maryland for prosecution in Harford County."
