Army Document: Iraqi Shot Several Times

Sunday July 29, 2007 7:46 AM

SAN ANTONIO (AP) - A soldier charged with premeditated
murder in the death of an Iraqi shot the man several times
with a rifle before ordering a subordinate to do the same,
according to an Army document filed in the case.

Sgt. 1st Class Trey A. Corrales of San Antonio and Spc.
Christopher P. Shore of Winder, Ga., are charged with one
count of murder in the death, which the U.S. military has
said happened June 23 near Iraq's northern city of Kirkuk.

A one-paragraph document, called a “charge sheet” in the
military, states that Corrales fired multiple rounds before
directing Shore “to then shoot the detainee,” according
to a report in Sunday's editions of the San Antonio Express-
News. It does not state the number of shots the soldiers
allegedly fired.

The document was obtained by the newspaper through the
Freedom of Information Act.
