'Terrible loss': Marine shot and killed in apparent accident in Washington DC identified as Lance Cpl. Riley Kuznia

The Marine who was shot and killed in what appeared to be a negligent discharge at the barracks in Washington D.C. has been identified, in an incident his commander called a "terrible loss."
Lance Cpl. Riley S. Kuznia, 20, was named by the Marine Corps as the individual who died at the barracks early Tuesday morning.
"We are truly saddened by this terrible loss. Riley was a highly driven and goal-oriented Marine whose positive attitude set the example here at the Barracks," Col. Don Tomich, commanding officer of Marine Barracks, said in a statement Wednesday.
The investigation is ongoing, but local police have classified the case as a death investigation rather than a homicide investigation, meaning that it may have been an accident.
The Marine, assigned to Marine Barracks Washington, was shot at approximately 5 a.m.

...Negligent discharges shouldn't happen aboard any Marine Corps installation, let alone the Marine Barracks at 8th & I.
Rest in peace, LCpl Kuznia; Semper Fidelis...
