Marine kills two at Quantico base, takes own life
An active-duty Marine shot dead two fellow service members at a base at Quantico, Virginia, then barricaded himself in a building and killed himself, prompting a brief lockdown of the base, the Marines said on Friday.
The shootings took place late on Thursday near the Officer Candidate School at the Marine Corps Base in Quantico, and all three people who died were identified as Marines, Marines spokesman Sergeant Christopher Zahn said.
At first glance, the sparse details are sort of shrieking a tragic, horrible “triangle”…
…The Marines did not name the service members who died, pending notification of their families. ABC News quoted a military official as saying the suspect had been identified as a staff member at the cadet school, as was one of the victims.
ABC also said that the second person killed was a female Marine found dead in the barracks, but gave no further details.
…aren’t they?
Oh, man, oh, man.
Awful. Just awful. Sick to my stomach awful.

Tragic and sad.
Harry Reid will be along shortly to blame this on the Sequestration.
Tragedy all around. Hopefully, gun control and gun rights will go somewhere else to play today.
This is terrible. I pray for the families and also for our own Marine.
