Georgia sailor killed in Persian Gulf

Today the U.S. military released the names of two Navy sailors allegedly shot and killed by fellow sailor this week on a base in Bahrain on the Persian Gulf. 19-year-old Seaman Genesia Mattil Gresham of Lithonia was one of the victims. Earlier this week, a U.S. State Department official said the incident appeared to be a case of a jilted boyfriend shooting and killing his ex-girlfriend and then shooting himself.
