http://pittsburghlive.com/x/tribune-review/trib/regional/s_401126.htmlA Beaver County soldier's killing last month in Iraq was a homicide, the Army said Monday.
Pvt. Dylan Paytas, 20, of Freedom, and another individual were in an argument before Paytas was shot several times Nov. 16 at a forward base in Baqubah, said Christopher Grey, a spokesman for the Army's Criminal Investigation Division in Fort Belvoir, Va.
Paytas' killer was neither an Iraqi soldier nor an Iraqi civilian, Grey said. He would not say whether the shooter was another American soldier. No one has been arrested in the case.
The Defense Department defines homicide as a service member killing a fellow service member.
