2nd BCT Soldier kills wife, self

The Colorado Springs Gazette, Ft. Collins Coloradan, Denver Post, and Rocky Mountain News report that a recently returned 2nd BCT Soldier is believed to have killed his wife and himself in northern Colorado yesterday. Pfc. Stephen Sherwood, of the 2/17th FA, and his wife were found dead after neighbors reported hearing gunshots at their home in Ft. Collins, which the police are investigating as a murder-suicide. The couple's infant child was at a neighbor's house at the time. Pfc. Sherwood was 35. His wife, Sara Sherwood, was 30.

Pfc. Sherwood was quoted in a Stars & Stripes article last August during training in Kuwait. He enlisted in the Army after working as a paramedic for 10 years. Our hearts go out to the families and child in this terrible event.
