A Columbus East High School graduate was one of two soldiers killed in Afghanistan, according to the high school.

School officials said on Twitter that Sgt. Jonathon Hunter was killed in the suicide bombing attack. He was a 2011 East alumni and played football with jersey number 22 according to the announcement.

Two soldiers died in the attack on a NATO convoy in Afghanistan yesterday. The Pentagon said the attack happened in the southern province of Kandahar. A suicide bomber reportedly drove a vehicle rigged to explode into the convoy near an airport where international troops are aiding Afghan security forces against the Taliban.

The school released a statement this morning:

“The Columbus East High School Community is sad to hear of the passing of one of its own. We were made aware that Jonathon Michael Hunter was killed in military action in Afghanistan. Jonathon was a 2011 graduate of Columbus East High School, and a member of the football team. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Hunter family, friends, the Columbus East community, and the BCSC community during this difficult time.

“This is the second Columbus East graduate that has given his life for his country while serving in Afghanistan. In 2010 Jeremy McQueary was killed while conducting searches for Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDS). He was 27.

“Columbus East High School & The Bartholomew Consolidated School Corporation are proud of the commitment and dedication of these two young men in service to their country.”

TTWN Media Networks is reporting that President Trump is upset with the way the war in Afghanistan is being run. In a recent meeting with top military officials, Trump reportedly declared that the U.S. isn’t winning, it’s losing. Trump even suggested that the top U.S commander in Afghanistan should be fired over the way the military mission in the country is going. He also reportedly complained that the U.S. isn’t benefiting from the estimated one-trillion-dollars worth of rare minerals in Afghanistan.
