WHEELER ARMY AIRFIELD, Hawaii — A Hawaii-based soldier accused of killing an unarmed Iraqi last year has admitted shooting the man.

Sgt. 1st Class Trey Corrales, of San Antonio, says he fired after seeing the man standing in the backyard of a house his platoon had just raided in search of insurgents.

Corrales says he told the man in Arabic to freeze and put his hands in the air but the man started to run.

Corrales says he raised his weapon and fired four shots at the man. snip

Other witnesses say Corrales shot the man after dragging him outside after he had already surrendered to the platoon.
