How they died
Deadly force
In an extraordinary string of errors, two Army Special Forces troops out of Fort Bragg encountered a deputy in a traffic stop. Tomeny and the other soldier spoke to, and threatened, the deputy believing he was one of the civilians role-playing in a war game. The deputy was unaware of the exercise, felt in danger of his life, and shot both soldiers. Tomeny died. The other was wounded and would eventually receive a $850K settlement.
