A Marine shot and killed two of his fellow Marines at a Virginia base on the night of March 22, and then committed suicide.

The incident, which took place at Marine Corps Base Quantico, involved the shooter gunning down a man and a woman.  All were permanent personnel assigned to the officer candidate school.

Authorities have yet to disclose a motive and are currently investigating the incident.  The identities of the victims have also not been released, as authorities work to notify next of kin.

The shooting comes just as the Corps grieves another tragedy: the deaths of seven U.S. Marines in a training exercise in Nevada on March 18.
