According to the 2 articles I read to gather more information about the massacre, 16 Afghanistan civilians were killed. Obama intends on fully investigating the killings and will not treat it lightly. "Defense secretary Leon Panetta said he could face the death penalty." Neither of these articles reveal the name of the soldier being investigated for the massacre. The most specific line reads, "More details emerged Monday about the suspect, an Army staff sergeant who is currently detained in Afghanistan." Afghan president, Hamid Karzai, didn't take lightly to this massacre. He expressed his thoughts about it by saying, "When the Americans are killing civilians intentionally, this is called terror and it is an unforgivable act." The massacre was done in the most cruelest of ways. The staff sergeant entered civilians homes in the middle of the night, shooting and killing multiple innocents. Among these innocents, 9 were children and 3 were women. The suspect "suffered a traumatic brain injury in 2010 after a vehicle rollover accident in Iraq." He also had family problems, revolving around his marriage, before he was deployed for the 4th time. Despite all this information about the suspect, it does not even come close to justifying his awful and stupid actions in Afghanistan.
