"....According to initial internal Pentagon communications obtained by the Air Force Times, the commanding officer of the 331st Training Squadron at the base was shot by an airman...." Who is they? |

Irony
Turns out this time it actually is workplace violence........

Murder suicide. Guy was being disciplined in the commanders office with the 1SG.
And he was one of ours. NG guy who went to 3rd SFG then transitioned to USAF. Last name Bellino. |

Spoke with a guy here that was in 1/75 and went to the Q course with him. As much as I hate to say it he was one of us. But if the papers want to paint him as ex-FBI that's good with me. He wasn't an actual FBI agent either. He had quit that as well.

Apparently the shooter was recently washed out of Pararescue indoc and was holding a "grudge."

It's a tragic and terrible event for all. I do not know of the circumstances surrounding the situation and what caused him to snap and commit the act he did. My thoughts go with both families. I’m sure they are both devastated and hope they can both eventually heal. |
OK, I've been watching this thread and just have to contribute my .02. First, I agree with Mr Furious in that we don't know what we don't know. With that said, it's just unfathomable that an S qualified soldier would leave that brotherhood to join the Air Force. This is not in ANY way a slam on the AF, but in my little pea brain it just doesn't make sense. Then add on to that what this young man did.......there is just no logic in a Green Beret even thinking about doing something like this to a fellow soldier, we just aren't wired that way.
Again, we don't know what we don't know and as my Team Sgt told me in 1970, we have to manage our actions and reactions by facts. My heart is heavy for all involved and their families. |

Bellino
I knew him, he was on my ODA. He was a little bit of a social misfit but a lot of guys are. He was a PT stud; he liked to shoot and practice his skills, he was not the worst SF guy on the team but not the best either. I remember that he wanted to go to CAG as a cherry SF guy. In my opinion I think he was disappointed in SF (difficulty of training, assignment to an ODA, people he worked with, etc.).
He sent me an email or a note thru linkdin a several years ago but I lost touch with him. I don't remember it saying anything of substance but thought it was odd that he contacted me. I don't know what the totality of the circumstances were, but I hate that he felt his only option was to kill innocent people (regardless of his situation) and ultimately end his own life too (#22). buck |
