ARLINGTON, Va. — Two sailors — one from the USS George Washington — have been charged with murder and assault with a deadly weapon in connection with a weekend incident south of San Diego.

The Navy confirmed Tuesday that Petty Officer 2nd Class Cloris Cannon from the George Washington and Petty Officer 2nd Class Harvey Jordan from Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron 41 have been charged.

The two — both 26 years old — are in jail without the possibility of bail, said Lt. Dennis Brugos, a homicide investigator with the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department.

Investigators believe that Jordan shot two men, killing one, Brugos said Tuesday.

The incident happened about 2 a.m. Saturday in National City, a sheriff’s department news release said.
