ANOTHER OF OUR OWN.
A soldier was killed by small arms fire in Baghdad on Thursday night while guarding the Iraqi National Museum, according to U.S. military sources there.

The soldier from the 1st Armored Division was in the gun turret of a Bradley fighting vehicle when he was shot, U.S. Central Command said.

UPDATE:


The Defense Department on Friday identified the 20-year-old soldier shot dead on Thursday while guarding the National Museum in Baghdad as Pfc. Edward Herrgott of Shakopee, Minnesota.

I'm told he was in C Co, 1-36 Infantry.
