U.S. Marines kill gunman in Kosovo, Pentagon says
June 25, 1999
Web posted at: 5:08 p.m. EDT (2108 GMT)
GNJILANE, Yugoslavia (CNN) --Initial reports indicate that one gunman was killed in an exchange of gunfire with U.S. Marines near the Kosovo town of Gnjilane, Pentagon spokesman Ken Bacon told CNN.
The Marines were fired upon and reportedly killed the gunman in the exchange that followed. No Marines were injured or killed, the Pentagon said.
It is unclear at this time if any of the other alleged assailants were taken into custody, CNN's Carl Rochelle reported.
The attack is the third on U.S. forces in Kosovo this week.
Marines manning a checkpoint near the village of Zegra came under fire by a group of armed men and returned fire Wednesday. One gunman was killed and two were wounded.
The first case was Monday night, when army soldiers from the 82nd Airborne Division, operating near the city of Urosevac, were fired upon but not injured.
