The U.S. Marine Corps says Lance Cpl. Jackson J. Forringer died in a training exercise in Twentynine Palms, California, after a gun reportedly discharged in a truck filled with Marines.

2nd Lt. Olivia Giarrizzo, a spokesperson for the 2nd Marine Division, said in an email to Fox News Digital on Wednesday. Smith-Tatham, who said he was discharged in 2022 due to drug use but kept in touch with members of his former unit daily, told the outlet he learned that Marines from Forringer’s platoon had been ordered into the back of the truck. He said they had been told to set their service rifles at"condition one," meaning with a loaded magazine and a round in the chamber.
The Marine who had been driving the vehicle during the rollover crash that killed Riffle was acquitted on charges that included manslaughter and negligent homicide earlier this month.
