An insider attack that killed three Marines in Afghanistan last year is under new scrutiny as the U.S. Attorney's Office in New York investigates the case and a congressman questions why an officer who warned about potential danger beforehand received a career-ending evaluation.
Staff Sgt. Scott Dickinson, 29, Cpl. Richard Rivera, 20, and Lance Cpl. Gregory Buckley, 21, died Aug. 10, 2012, after an attacker opened fire on them with an assault rifle at a base gym. A fourth Marine, Staff Sgt. Cody Rhode, sustained five gunshot wounds, including one that shattered his elbow, according to a Marine Corps news release. They were all members of a police advisory team attached to 3rd Battalion, 8th Marines, out of Camp Lejeune, N.C.
