The second Massachusetts Marine in two weeks has been killed in action in Afghanistan.

Sgt. Daniel Vasselian, 27, of Abington, was killed Monday, his family said. He was ambushed, two days before Christmas, as he was getting off a Humvee, they said.

Vasselian's death came on the same day Lance Cpl. Matthew Rodriguez, of Fairhaven, was buried.

Family members said this was Vallelian's third combat tour of duty. He had served both in Iraq and Afghanistan after his enlistment in 2006.
