involuntary manslaughter, saying he shot his friend accidentally while
trying to scare away his hiccups.
Fort Hood officials say Spc. Patrick Edward Myers, of Spartanburg, S.C., was
sentenced Thursday to 3½ years in military prison. He also was
busted to private and will receive a bad-conduct discharge.
Myers fatally shot Pfc. Isaac Lawrence Young in September while they were
watching a football game at a Killeen apartment. Myers told police he
thought the weapon had dummy rounds and was trying to scare his friend so
his hiccups would stop.
Young, of Ash Grove, Mo., was 22.
The case was tried in military court on the Central Texas Army post because
the victim and suspect were soldiers. | n****7
