However, Afghans are not the only ones who are upset over the killing. President Obama and his Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta have both condemned the attack. Obama said he was “heartbroken” over the matter and Panetta said that there’s a possibility the accused soldier will face capital punishment.
Unfortunately this isn’t the first time the world has seen violent acts committed by soldiers on civilians. At a 2009 Texas military post called Fort Hood, Major Nidal Malik Hasan allegedly murdered 13 individuals!
