7 Marines Killed In Training

Seven marines were killed in an explosion from a training exercise in Nevada. They ranged from ages 19 to 26 and most of them were veterans of the war in Afghanistan. "We send our prayers and condolences to the families of the Marines and sailors who have been killed and injured in this tragic accident," said 2nd Marine General Jim Lukeman. Not only were those 7 killed, but a Navy corpsman was seriously injured, as well as 5 other Marines. The Marines will now not allow the use of 60mm mortars until they find what the cause to the explosion was.
