Two crewmembers shot on British Nuclear Sub

Two crewmembers were shot on a British nuclear submarine armed with nuclear weapons today.

At least he didn't gain access to the reactor room.

There was something on yahoo news not long ago about how military serving on subs are at the highest risk for developing mental health issues.  I have been looking for the link as it fits well with this story.  I can sure understand how that might be...I got to tour a sub once at a military museum and just being in there for a short time felt so claustrophobic.  I can't imagine being there for an extended period of time.  If you find a link to this particular story, could you please post it?  I would be very interested in reading more about it.

In any event, how sad this happened.  Did the crew members survive the shooting?  I hope so.

It was allegedly a disgruntled crewmember.

Lots of "missing pieces" to the story. He could easily have destroyed the sub.
