U.S. Soldier Kills Afghan Civilians In Shooting Spree.
Quote:
An American soldier in Afghanistan allegedly walked off his base in the pre-dawn hours Sunday morning and began shooting at civilians in their homes in the southern province of Kandahar.
At least 15 civilians are reported dead, including nine children and three women. NATO hasn't confirmed the death toll, but has detained the accused service member.
The attack began around 3 a.m. in two villages in Panjwai, a suburb of Kandahar. They're not far from the U.S. base.
