US Marines Exchange Gunfire With Suspected Gang Members in Haiti

U.S. Marines this week exchanged gunfire with suspected gang members at the U.S. Embassy in Port-au-Prince.

The Marines were “supporting embassy security operations” when they were fired upon, Marine Corps spokesman Capt. Steven Keenan told Task & Purpose.

“U.S. Marines are committed to the safety and security of U.S. embassies worldwide and respond to all threats with professionalism and swift, disciplined action,” Keenan added.
