ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- A Maryland woman said her 19-year-old son was among the five killed when a U.S. soldier opened fire at a clinic in Baghdad.
Shawna Machlinski said two men from the Army came to her Eastern Shore home at 12:15 a.m. Tuesday to tell her Michael Edward Yates Jr. had been killed by "friendly fire."
Machlinski said her son had only been at the clinic for about five days when the shooting happened Monday.
Machlinski said she last talked to her son on Mother's Day and that he had talked about the alleged shooter, Sgt. John M. Russell.
She said her son got along with him, but she recalled him saying, "This guy's got issues."

This story sounds fishy.
We are immensely grateful for Ms. Machlinski's Son's service to our country. My thoughts and prayers go out to her and the Machlinski family.
Every morning my prayers go to the men & Women fighting for our country. I pray his family finds peace in knowing that his is home at peace.
Sad. As to the shooter, I believe that this was not just frinedly fire. I have seen this case before.
9:21 "Every morning my prayers go to the men & Women fighting for our country."
Yes. And keep the ones going to stress counseling on the DHS watch list when they return home.
Apparently the soldier was from Federalsburg. It is always sad when a soldier dies, but even sadder when it is close to home. God bless all of our men in uniform.
