Two American soldiers were killed and six others wounded by an Iraqi soldier on Wednesday following an altercation in the northern city of Mosul, according to Iraqi security officials and witnesses. The shooter was immediately killed by other American soldiers, they added.

Peggy Kageleiry, confirmed the American casualties and said they occurred during what she described as “a firefight.” But she refused to provide any further information about the incident, saying the matter was still under investigation.
