SEALs from the platoon that Chief
Gallagher led during a deployment to Mosul, Iraq, in 2017 told military
officials that they saw the chief fatally stab a wounded ISIS captive.
Navy investigators said while several SEALs were providing medical aid
to the fighter, Chief Gallagher took out a handmade hunting knife and
stabbed the captive, a teenager, several times in the neck and torso.
The chief was also accused of firing a sniper rifle at
civilians, striking a girl wearing a flower-print hijab as she walked
along a riverbank and an old man carrying a water jug. Several SEALs
broke the group’s code of silence and testified against Chief Gallagher
in a military trial.
