A single shot doesn't worry us much. We worry when there is a series of shots.
— Andre D. Tyson, reassuring a Times reporter in Iraq
Tyson was killed alongside Patrick McCaffrey in what the military initially told their families was an ambush by insurgents. Two years later, the military informed the families that the soldiers were actually killed by members of the Iraqi national guard who were on patrol with them.
