Deer in headlights?

Seattle attorney John Henry Browne announced Thursday he’s been hired by the soldier’s family to represent him. The suspect was based at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington.

“He is in shock, kind of like a deer in headlights at the moment,” Browne said Friday morning. “I told him not to talk about the allegations at all, so I cannot tell you how he is responding because I told him not to talk about it.”

The soldier is suspected of going on a shooting rampage in villages near his base in southern Afghanistan early Sunday, killing nine children and seven other civilians and then burning some of their bodies. The shooting, which followed a controversial Quran-burning incident involving U.S. soldiers, outraged Afghan officials and raised concerns that the U.S.-led effort in Afghanistan could falter.
