Tina Priest's Death In Iraq Under Investigation
Grieving Family Confused By Report Of Gunshot Wound
Gregg Watson
Reporting
(CBS 42) SMITHVILLE
A Central Texas family is coping with the death of a soldier killed in Iraq.
The Army said Private First Class Tina Marie Priest of Smithville died from non-combat-related injuries.
There was unimaginable pain for family members who sent their daughter off to war, believing she would come back -- but knowing there was a chance she would not.
Family members told CBS 42�s Gregg Watson that they are having a hard time believing that Priest did not die in combat.
According to the U.S. Department of Defense, Priest died Wednesday of injuries not related to war. Her family�s not so sure.
Priest�s father was lost in his grief Friday night.
�It�s not right for any parent to have to bury their child,� Tim Priest said. �I don�t know how to feel. I just don�t know how to feel.�
It will be a few days before Priest�s body will be flown back to the U.S. Her family plans to honor her memory with a hero�s burial in Smithville.
�She lived life to its fullest extent at all times,� her father said.
Family members said they had heard that Priest died from a gunshot wound to the chest. The Army is investigating.
The family is grieving.
