The soldiers who lost their lives in this week’s shooting at Fort Hood have been identified.

  • Sgt. Danny Ferguson came from Mulberry, Florida
  • Sgt. Carlos A. Lazaney was from Aguadilla, Puerto Rico
  • Sgt. Timothy Owens grew up in Effingham, Illinois

Ferguson was killed trying to hold a door shut to stop the shooter, his fiancee, Kristen Haley, told CNN affiliate WTSP-TV in Tampa, Florida.

“He held that door shut because it wouldn’t lock. It seems the doors would be bullet proof, but apparently they’re not,” Haley told the station. “If he wasn’t the one standing there holding those doors closed, that shooter would have been able to get through and shoot everyone else.”…

Lazaney, 38, was from Aguadilla, Puerto Rico, and planned to retire from the military soon after serving 20 years, Aguadilla Mayor Carlos Mendez told Mayra Cuevas of CNN en Español…

Owens, 37, was a counselor in the Army and had served in Iraq.

“Very terrible that they had to shoot my son,” his mother, Mary Muntean, told CNN affiliate WICS-TV in Springfield, Illinois. “He was a good person. Why would they shoot a good person that was helping them?”
