6. Opinion: There is insufficient evidence to prove US neglicence or wrongful act. Additionally, such fire engagement by any checkpoint guardsman was likely a result of the deceased's failure to follow written or verbal instruction at a checkpoint. […]

“[Testimony by the claimant:] The claimant’s dad was killed (shot) by US Forces at a checkpoint [illegible and incomprehensible] […] While attempting to turn around a US soldier shot him. The other 3 passengers took him to the hospital where he was later pronounced dead. […]”
