Marine shot while on duty at the Marine DC barracks
The only thing that has been released so far is his name and that the wound was not self-inflicted and was perhaps an accident.
RIP
- The gunshot wound that led to the death of a U.S. Marine at a barracks in Southeast D.C. was not self inflicted, according to an official.
The shooting was reported around 5 a.m. Officials say the Marine was shot and hospitalized but later died from a gunshot wound.
Officials declined to elaborate, citing the ongoing investigation.
A D.C. police source told FOX 5's Evan Lambert that the incident was an accident, and that it happened during a shift change when weapons are supposed to be unloaded before being passed to the next shift.
