"A community in Utah is in mourning after its mayor, Brent Taylor, was killed in Afghanistan while he was deployed with the National Guard. His body is scheduled to arrive in the U.S. Monday night. With two months left in his year-long tour, the 39-year-old died Saturday after one of his Afghan trainees shot him in an insider attack. Afghan forces reportedly killed the attacker.
Taylor is the third U.S. soldier to be killed in an insider attack in Afghanistan since July. Seventeen years after 9/11, there are still some 15,000 U.S. troops in the country – many whose main job is to train and advise Afghan forces. Nearly half of this year's American combat deaths in Afghanistan have reportedly come from suspected insider attacks, reports CBS News correspondent John Blackstone."
