Ethan Barclay-Weberpal, was stabbed to death Tuesday at Camp Pendleton in San Diego, according to a Facebook post from his father, Scott Weberpal.

Military officials confirm one Marine was stabbed and another taken into custody at Camp Pendleton in San Diego, but they have yet to name of the marine killed.
First responders were called to Area 52, the sprawling section of Camp Pendleton where the School of Infantry is housed, around 7:45 a.m. on Tuesday following reports of an injured person, according to the San Diego-Union Tribune.
Marine spokesman Capt. Joshua J. Pena told the Union-Tribune that agents from the Naval Criminal Investigative Service are probing the incident and one Marine is in military custody.
