Army 1st Lt. Tyler Feehan is killed in a drone strike in Jordan, according to reports. The New York Post and Fox News say the attack kills Feehan along with two other service members while they are working on a base in the region.
Both outlets also quote or describe comments from Feehan’s mother and fiancée. They recall his mindset and excitement prior to his deployment to the Middle East. They also provide details about his personal plans and family ties, including his intended place in the family’s memorial arrangements, with Fox News noting he is to be buried beside his grandfather, a Vietnam veteran.
While the accounts focus primarily on the family’s recollections and personal background, they are consistent on the basic facts of the incident: a fatal Iranian drone strike in Jordan, Feehan’s death, and the presence of two other fatalities. Other reporting differences, if any, are not specified in the provided source excerpts.
