DOVER, Del. — A Delaware native was shot and killed by a sniper in Iraq, family members said Wednesday.
Army Sgt. Joseph Garyantes, 34, was killed while his tank unit was on patrol near Baghdad, said his brother, Stephen Garyantes, 39, of Milton.
Garyantes said his brother’s wife, Monika, alerted relatives Tuesday after military officials told her of her husband’s death.
“It was a sniper shooting,” Stephen Garyantes said.
Joseph Garyantes, who lived with his wife and two young sons in Germany, was sent to Iraq in late February, his brother said.
