HARKER HEIGHTS, Texas -- Police were investigating the death of a soldier who was found in his house near Fort Hood with multiple gunshot wounds.

An acquaintance found Capt. Jason L. Gonzalez's body on Friday night, Harker Heights police said. An autopsy was being conducted.

Gonzalez, 28, was a company commander with the 4th Infantry Division at the fort, public affairs officer Lt. Col. Dan Baggio said.

Gonzalez, an Apache helicopter pilot, was a 1998 graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. He was scheduled to go back to Iraq by the end of the year.

The San Antonio native, who graduated from Central Catholic High School, loved to go camping with his young daughter and son, said Mario Carrasco, a high school classmate.

Does anyone else find the words "fatally wounded" inappropriate? Would not dead or killed or some other phrase be more descriptive?

Regardless, RIP Capt. Jason L. Gonzalez :(

1. I'd bet 70% of Americans do NOT understand what "fatally wounded"

means. A survey like one of those that 70% of school kids failed. "Is Canada a state of America?" Or, "Find Virginia on this map." Or, "What is the sum of 12 - 4 =?"

I swear 70% would either guess or get wrong what "fatally wounded" means,
