BELOIT - The Beloit College community is grappling with news that a 2008 graduate was slain in Yemen.
Luke Somers was killed Saturday as U.S. forces tried to rescue him from al-Qaida captors. He had been working as a freelance photographer in Yemen when he was kidnapped in September 2013.
Beloit College released a statement Saturday offering condolences to Somers' family, classmates and friends, and ``to the people he courageously and selflessly served in Yemen.'' The statement says: ``We are proud to be associated with Luke and so sorry the world has lost him.''
