[Updated at 8:16 a.m. ET] A Marine shot and killed two of his fellow service members at a Virginia base on Thursday night and then apparently killed himself, base officials said.
The incident took place at Marine Corps Base Quantico. The shooter gunned down a man and a woman, the spokesmen said. All are Marines - permanent personnel assigned to the officer candidate school.
Authorities did not disclose a motive and were investigating the incident. The identities of the victims were not immediately disclosed as authorities work to notify next of kin.
FULL STORY
No names or ranks yet, but they were permanent party cadre at the officer candidate school (Think: Officer and a gentleman, Richard Gere 1990s movie). Male and a female, then killed self. I'm betting love triangle gone wrong or his rating chain.
Terrible. my condolences to the bereaved families.
Other new outlets have been reporting just that @ Theorist. It also has happened before.
