Soldier also had marital trouble before deployment
(NEWSER) - The lone US soldier suspected of fatally shooting 16 Afghan civilians in a berserk weekend rampage suffered a traumatic brain injury during a recent tour of war duty, sources tell ABC News . The 38-year-old unidentified Army staff sergeant was treated for traumatic brain injury after some kind of vehicle accident, and was deemed fit for duty, according to an official. But the father of two had serious marital problems at home before he was assigned to Afghanistan, following three tours of duty in Iraq within 10 years. He also had other unspecified problems "reintegrating," said authorities. But officials determined that he had "worked through" the problems before he was deployed to Afghanistan, notes ABC. More»
