Tortured Soul:

Iraq vet struggled with PTSD then killed wife, himself

Wartime tragedy followed airman home to North Las Vegas
 

 

Once again, I had the pleasure of collaborating with the only RJ Reporter assigned to cover both wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and Veteran's Issues - Keith Rogers (who is a Vietnam Era Veteran himself) - I'm quoted in the story and in the video done by Jason Bean and Justin Yurkanin - KUDOS to Keith, Jason, Justin and the RJ for doing such a fine job on this complex triple tragedy!
