KIEL, Wis. (AP) - The uncle of a Wisconsin soldier says his nephew is among the soldiers killed in the Fort Hood shootings.
The death raises Wisconsin's toll to two soldiers killed and two others injured.
Larry Seager of Mauston says his niece told him Friday morning that 51-year-old Russell Seager of Racine died.
He says his nephew joined the Army a few years back because he was a psychiatrist who wanted to help returning veterans adapt back to civilian life. He says he still can't believe the news.
Also killed was 29-year-old Amy Krueger of Kiel. The injured included 23-year-old Army Reserve Spc. Grant Moxon of Lodi and 19-year-old Amber Bahr of Random Lake.
The shooting at the Texas base Thursday left 13 dead and 30 injured. The suspect was hospitalized Friday in a coma.
