JOINT BASE LEWIS-McCHORD, Wash. -- Charging papers released by the Army Tuesday allege that Stryker Brigade soldiers killed three Afghan civilians by throwing hand grenades and shooting them.

The allegations are made against Staff Sgt. Calvin Gibbs, Spc. Jeremy Morlock, and Pvt. 1st Class Andrew Holmes, all members of the 5th Stryker Brigade based at Joint Base Lewis-McChord. Gibbs and Morlock are charged with three counts of premeditated murder and Holmes is charged with one.

In addition, Spc. Michael Wagnon and Spc. Adam Winfield have been charged with one murder count each. Wagnon also is accused of trying to impede an investigation by asking another soldier to erase a computer hard drive that allegedly contained evidence.
