Iraq war veteran recovering in Pomona

By Marianne Love, Staff Writer

He made it six months into his second tour of duty in Iraq before a sniper's bullet found him as he stood guard on top of a police station.

The bullet never actually entered his body, rather it zipped around the inside of his helmet and back out, shaking his head violently and injuring his brain.

In the next few weeks, Army Staff Sgt. Jarod Behee of Glendora is looking at more surgery at a private hospital in Pomona where he was recently moved.
