DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- Police investigators say a highly
decorated Iraqi war veteran shot and killed his wife before fatally
shooting himself in their Daytona Beach apartment.
Authorities found the bodies of 28-year-old Jason Pemberton and
his 25-year-old wife Tiffany on Sunday after a neighbor called
police about a dog on the couple's balcony. Police say the
shootings likely occurred Saturday.
Daytona Beach Police Chief Mike Chitwood says neighbors told
them they frequently heard arguing in the apartment.
Pemberton's uncle, Darrell Pemberton of Evergreen, Ala., told
the Daytona Beach News-Journal his nephew earned three Purple
Hearts, a Bronze Star and other medals during three tours of duty.
The uncle says he was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder
and received a medical discharge from the U.S. Army in 2009 due to
a back injury.
