with a shooting there here with more on the Legacy

four other innocent victims there at the scene. Using his
own personal firearm, this twenty eight year old sergeant apparently

scene in the shooting before other soldiers surrounding them were
able to take him into custody. The suspect here did
not really have any disciplinary record, doesn't have a history
being deployed in the combat area. Yes, he did have
an arrest for a DIUY this spring and didn't hell
