A Minnesota soldier is among those killed in the shooting rampage at Fort Hood.

Kham Xiong, of St. Paul, died in the attack Thursday, said Tim McGowan, principal of Community of Peace Academy, a school attended by Xiong.

McGowan said Xiong's father, Chor Xiong, informed the school of
his son's death. Family members picked up pictures of Xiong on
Friday for a memorial service, McGowan said.

A telephone listing for Chor Xiong couldn't immediately be found. The Department of Defense did not announce Xiong's death on Friday, but a congressional staffer said delegation members had been advised of the death. The staffer asked not to be identified because the information had not yet been publicly released.

Xiong graduated from Community of Peace in 2004, McGowan said.
