WASHINGTON — The Defense Department has released the identities of two Fort Hood soldiers officials say were shot dead by an Iraqi soldier they were training.

A Pentagon statement issued Monday says 23-year-old Sgt. Michael P. Bartley of Barnhill, Ill., and 43-year-old Spc. Martin J. Lamar of Sacramento, Calif., died when the trainee shot them with small-arms fire Saturday in Mosul, Iraq. The two were assigned to the 1st Squadron, 9th Cavalry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division, Fort Hood, Texas.

A U.S. statement issued Saturday says a third soldier was wounded. Authorities say at least one Iraqi soldier was detained.
