| Two SKor Marine officers to be dismissed in wake of shooting rampage |
| 2011-07-10 |
South Korea's Marine Corps will dismiss two commanding officers for failing to prevent a shooting rampage last week that killed four marines at a front-line base.
An anonymous marine official said Sunday that a colonel and a lieutenant colonel at the Ganghwa Island base will be dismissed soon and may face further penalties when the investigation into the July 4 shooting has been completed.
Officials say they are interrogating a corporal who allegedly shot his colleagues at the base in the Yellow Sea. Claims of abuse among marines have come forth following the shooting. Officials say the corporal had shown symptoms of mental illness. |
