BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- A U.S. soldier fired on his fellow troops at a counseling center at a base outside Baghdad on Monday, U.S. officials said, killing five people in the worst such attack of the six-year war.
The shooting took place at 2 hours in a stress clinic at Camp Liberty near Baghdad International Airport, two senior defense officials. Although initial reports showed that the attacker was slain in the incident, the U.S. command in Baghdad said Monday evening that a suspect in the killings were in custody.
"Every time we lose one of us affects all of us," Colonel John Robinson, an American military spokesman said in a written statement. "Our hearts are with the families and friends of all services involved in this terrible tragedy."
Neither the suspect nor the victims were found, but a defense official with access to the latest reports on the incident told CNN that the suspect was a patient at the treatment center.
Thanks for game reviews
