File: A Soldier graduates from college

COSTA MESA, CA - One life has ended and another's academic future is on life support after a tragic day at Orange County Community College in Southern California. The incident took place during a discussion of PTSD in a psychology class when one student decided to share his struggles as a war veteran.

"After I told the class I was an Iraq vet, they were all mesmerized," said John Kemp, a former Army Sergeant. "I went from that weird 27 year old Freshman in the back of the class who doesn't speak to anyone to a war hero everyone wanted to talk to."

Unfortunately, one student's admiration went too far when he delved into the personal tragedies suffered by Kemp.
