NORMAN — Photos of U.S. Army Spc. Jason Dean Hunt's recent wedding were projected in a Norman funeral home chapel near his flag-draped casket during services for the 22-year-old Oklahoman, who was killed along with 12 others in a shooting rampage at Fort Hood, Texas, last week.

About 200 people came to the Primrose Funeral Home Saturday to pay tribute to the soldier from Frederick. He was described as a loving husband and family man as well as a soldier who left a legacy of selflessness and service.

Ross Ridge, the deputy commanding general at Fort Sill, said the reason the gunman went on the shooting spree may never be known. He asked Hunt's family to be assured that the military community was grieving with them. By ROCHELLE HINES Associated Press
