Police believe that Moora shot Soles and Burns before turning the gun on himself, according to the Virginian-Pilot.

Soles and Burns were stationed at Naval Medical Center Portsmouth, while Moora was stationed at Field Medical Training Battalion East in Jacksonville, North Carolina. The relationship between the three service members is unclear.
