A soldier recovering from a suicide bomb attack in Afghanistan is fighting for his life after being shot at his homecoming party in California.
Family members told the San Bernardino Sun newspaper that 22-year-old Christopher Sullivan was shot on Friday night at a party friends had thrown for him. He was taken to hospital in a critical condition.
Police said two partygoers got into an argument after midnight and one of them opened fire on Mr Sullivan. The gunman fled.
Mr Sullivan was wounded in a suicide bombing last year and has been recovering in Kentucky where he is stationed. He was home on leave when the shooting occurred.
