A tragic story echoes from the Korean DMZ.
A South Korean soldier in a front-line unit went on a rampage early Sunday, killing eight of his fellow soldiers and wounding two others.
The 22-year-old private, identified by his surname “Kim,” threw a grenade into a barracks of sleeping soldiers in Yeoncheon county near the border with North Korea, then opened fire with a rifle.
The Yonhap news agency says two wounded soldiers were airlifted to a hospital with injuries that are not life-threatening. Private Kim told authorities he was angry because a senior soldier had verbally abused him.
This tale brings to mind the murderous traitor Hasan Akbar, all the way down to the grenade, shooting and sickening excuse of verbal abuse.
