PHOENIX — A soldier from Flagstaff who died in Iraq was remembered by friends as quiet and bright, with a gift for learning foreign languages.
Army Spc. Alyssa R. Peterson, 27, died Sept. 15 from what was described as a “non-combat weapons discharge,” said Martha Rudd, an Army spokeswoman. The fatality occurred near the northwestern Iraqi town of Tel Afar, about 50 miles southwest of the Turkish border.
Rudd and other Army officials said that a number of possible scenarios were being considered, including Peterson’s own weapon discharging, the weapon of another soldier discharging or the accidental shooting of Peterson by an Iraqi civilian.
