at a base in northern Virginia before killing himself, officials said early
Friday.

commander Col. David W. Maxwell told reporters. | s*********8 发帖数: 901 | 2 A double homicide followed by the suicide of a Marine in his barracks
Thursday night highlights a problem with which the US military has been
grappling mightily: active-duty personnel who take their own lives.
The shootings occurred at the Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia, in
which a fight broke out, reportedly over a relationship dispute. The victims
included two men and a woman, all Marines.
The gunman was pronounced dead of an apparent inflicted gunshot wound,
according to a Marine Corps statement.
By Friday morning the base returned to normal operations, but the
investigation surrounding the incident will no doubt include the prevalence
of suicide within the ranks of the military. |
