Three Marines have been killed at a US marine base in Virginia after a suspected gunman opened fire on two others before killing himself.

FILE: U.S. Marines practice their ceremonial flag drills in front of the National Museum of the Marine Corps in Quantico, Virginia.

The first victim was shot at Marine Base Quantico at about 11pm local time on Thursday, leading to a standoff between authorities and the suspect, said base spokesman Lt Agustin Solivan.

The Associated Press reported that authorities entered the barracks where the suspect had barricaded himself after the first victim was shot.

Upon entering the authorities found the suspect dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, along with a second victim. Solivan could not say what prompted authorities to enter the barracks.

The base lockdown was lifted just before 3 a.m. on Friday.

This is a developing story. 

The shootings comes days after seven U.S. Marines were killed in a mortar explosion at an Army munitions depot in Nevada during a live-fire training exercise.

In that incident on Monday, a lightweight mortar exploded prematurely in its firing tube, killing the Marines from Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, who had been undergoing mountain warfare training, and wounding eight other service members.

It prompted the Marines to order a blanket suspension of the use of 60mm mortars pending a review.

“There is no evidence of a home invasion,” The Denver Post quoted Lieutenant Jeff Kramer, a spokesman for the El Paso County sheriff’s office, as saying. “We know of his position and realize that it is a possible motive for a crime such as this,” Kramer told the newspaper.

Kramer also said investigators have not ruled anything out, but it could have been related to his job.

It started around 4:20 a.m. with a dispute in the valet lot of the Aria Hotel. Investigators haven’t confirmed the cause of the altercation, but said it spilled onto the street as someone in a black Range Rover Sport fired several shots at Clutch’s Maserati as it headed north on Las Vegas
Blvd.

When the driver was hit, the Maserati continued into the intersection of the boulevard and Flamingo Road and collided with a taxi, which caught fire. The sports car’s driver, the cab driver and a passenger in the taxi all died; a passenger in the Maserati and three other people in the resulting pileup were hurt, officials said. Adding that the “top priority” for police is to find the Range Rover.

Police in neighboring states have been asked to look for the sport-utility vehicle, and Gillespie warned the occupants should be considered armed and dangerous.

The Range Rover had an out-of-state dealer plate, tinted windows and large, black rims, Las Vegas Police Sgt. John Sheahan added.

World news: 3 sisters ages 6, 9, 11, raped and killed – Police ‘did nothing for days’

Published by EOTM News Editor on February 21st, 2013 - in Breaking News, Real People, World News

Three sisters, ages 6, 9 and 11 were raped and killed and western India police officials did absolutely nothing for days according to La Prensa.

The young girls  bodies were reportedly  “thrown into a well” last week in the western Indian state of Maharastra, a senior police officer told the news outlet.

According to a police report, the sisters disappeared after leaving their school. The well in which the three sisters were found two days later was only half a kilometer, or a third of a mile, from their house. Police officer Arti Singh stated that “The three (girls) were raped before being murdered.”
USA TODAY

The grandfather of the three killed young girls told NDTV television  that “the girls were lured with food,” by unknown abductors.

India’s police initially said that the rape and killing of the three young girls was “an accident” and it was not until the mother of the three girls began to protest, that the case was taken seriously by officials.

“It is unacceptable. All of us have to hang our heads in shame,” Minister Patel said.

In response to the mother’s protest, the central government has now involved state investigators in the case and has asked to be informed about any new developments in the rape and killing of the three young sisters. By now, the manhunt conducted by the police consists of five teams who are searching for the murderers.
