“As his parents, we can’t understand how he survives Iraq then gets killed in Texas,” Tammy Garren said. “We can’t understand how he was safer in Iraq than he was in Harker Heights.”

KILLEEN, Texas — The parents of an Army soldier who was run over at a sports bar near Fort Hood, Texas, don’t believe his death was accidental and want the case reopened.

“We feel that there wasn’t justice for Michael,” said Jerry Garren of Staatsburg, N.Y., father of Spc. Michael Anthony Garren, 20, who had served in Iraq.

After investigating the June 1 incident, Harker Heights police presented a criminally negligent homicide case to the Bell County District Attorney’s Office. Initial police reports indicated some people were arguing in a parking lot when a man threatened them, got in his truck and then knocked Garren down and ran over him.
