Eight soldiers being sought after attack on two officers

Watertown Daily Times | Eight soldiers being sought after attack on two officers

Two 10th Mountain Division officers were assaulted by as many as eight people early Sunday in the town of Sacket’s Harbor, NY. The assailants were all US Army soldiers stationed at Fort Drum, home of the 10th Mountain Division.

The two officers sustained minor injuries and bone fractures. As of yet only one suspect has been identified. Police reports so far state that no motive has been determined however inside sources at Fort Drum indicate that this is untrue. Meetings this week with legal counsel for the 2nd brigade to which the officers belong indicate this was a targeted attack.

The two officers were attacked while leaving an 80’s themed party while dressed as though they were actors on Miami Vice. So far the investigation indicates that the two officers were believed to be gay and that perceived sexuality of the two officers was a main motivation of the assailants.
