Marine killed during night fire exercise at Camp Pendleton

A Marine died during a nighttime live-fire exercise at Camp Pendleton, California, on Thursday, the service said in a statement.

The Marine, who was a student at the School of Infantry-West, was not named in the statement because, according to a Marine Corps spokesman, their next of kin were only notified Friday morning.

“An investigation into the circumstances of the death is ongoing and the command is fully cooperating with the investigation efforts,” the statement added.
