I guess this is not the first this has happened, I would have thought that it would only have happened once. There is no excuse for anything of this nature to ever occur. My deepest sympathies go out to the family of SSG Brown.

"Yet another Army spouse learned of her husband’s downrange death through Facebook when a female Soldier in his platoon sent her a message saying there was an emergency and asking the spouse to call her.
“She told me over the phone, right in front of my kids and I completely had a meltdown,” Ariell Taylor-Brown told a Columbus, Ohio NBC affiliate. “She wasn’t supposed to but I guess she took it on her own power to do it.”
Just hours later the notification team came to her Mobile, Ala. door. Her husband, Staff Sgt. Christopher Brown, was deployed out of Fort Carson. He had been downrange a week before his April 3 death. The couple has two small children and Ariell said she is about 11 weeks pregnant with their third."
