Tragedy at Camp Liberty

A U.S. soldier opened fire on coalition forces attending a stress clinic at a military base outside of Baghdad International Airport Monday, and at least five were killed, the Pentagon and U.S. Command said.

It was unclear how many U.S. soldiers were killed in the shooting at Camp Liberty, but a defense official said the shooter is alive and in custody. Three were wounded, but it was not immediately clear if the shooter was one of them.

Pentagon officials first indicated that an Army soldier shot the others and then turned the gun on himself.

I'm on chat with my son stationed at Camp Liberty. He doesn't know anything more about the situation than has been released to the news.

Can they scream any louder that there is a serious issue with stress? The high rate of suicides wasn't enough.
