Two American Servicemembers Killed in Frankfurt Shooting

Two American Servicemembers Killed in Frankfurt Shooting

Two Servicemembers Also Injured in Shooting at Frankfurt Airport
By LUIS MARTINEZ
March 2, 2011
A gunman opened fire inside a bus carrying U.S. servicemembers at the airport in Frankfurt, Germany, today, killing two members of the U.S. Air Force, a U.S. official said.

One of the dead was the bus driver. Two other American servicemembers were reportedly seriously injured in the incident.

The servicemembers were not based in Germany but were transiting through, another U.S. official told ABC News, and it appears the gunman was on the bus when he shot at them. There is no information yet on whether this was an airport shuttle or one specifically for U.S. military personnel.

German police have arrested a 21-year-old suspect from Kosovo.

The incident remains under investigation and it is unclear if the shooting was related to terrorism....

Found out today one of the fallen is from the local area. We got an email from our shirt today asking for volunteers to help the VFW line the funeral route with 10000 American flags. I know where I will be thursday and again on Saturday. If anyone in the O Fallon area wants to help shoot me a PM and I will get you the details.
