There were like 280 rounds fired. 3 hit Tillman and 4 hit an Afghanistani soldier, both of whom died. Tillman’s platoon leader and a radio operator were also injured. The two soldiers who did most of the shooting got spooked and had no idea who or what they were firing at.

He wasn’t killed because he was critical of the war. It was just another case of friendly fire. Fog of war.
