Officials on Friday identified the two Coast Guardsmen who were shot and killed Thursday at Coast Guard Communication Station Kodiak.
A Coast Guard press release states they are Coast Guard Petty Officer First Class James Hopkins, an electronics technician, and Richard Belisle, a civilian employee and retired Coast Guard chief petty officer.
Their deaths are being investigated by the Coast Guard Investigative Service, the FBI, Alaska State Troopers and the Kodiak Police Departments.
The investigation is treating the fatal shootings as a double homicide. There has not been any evidence to suggest it was a homicide-suicide, the release states.
No arrests have been made in the case.

Add commentI hope they find the traitor
I hope they find the traitor who shot these military men and that the punishment is treated as the crime it is, treason to our country. The punishment should be death by firing squad.
I agree
Why would anyone attack the Coast Guard personnel. Who ever did this needs to be dealt with quickly and severely. People seem to get nuttier by the day, the Coast Guard what did they do not rescue you fast enough?
