Marine back from Iraq killed in street shooting

<p>A Marine who returned from Iraq about a month ago was shot and killed in a pre-dawn altercation with another motorist on a main Atlanta street.</p><p>Police responding to the report of a shooting Sunday morning found Jack R. Snook, 24, of Cumming, dead from a gunshot wound to the face.</p><p>Charles Anthony Key, 23, surrendered Wednesday morning at his home and was charged with murder, Atlanta police spokesman Sgt. John Quigley said. Key is charged with murder and police say the impetus may have been a road-rage incident.</p><p>Witnesses said Snook was a passenger in a vehicle driven by his wife. The couple had stopped at a traffic light about a block from the downtown interstate connector, and Snook got into an argument with a man in a pickup truck, Quigley said.</p><p>Quigley said he did not know what started the argument or what it was about.</p><p>Witnesses said the argument became heated and Snook got out of the vehicle to confront the man in the pickup. The man in the pickup shot Snook in the face and sped away on West Peachtree Street, one of the city's main thoroughfares, a police report states.</p><p>Detectives identified Key based on witness descriptions of the suspect, and Key was taken to the Fulton County Jail, Quigley said.</p><p>Snook's grandfather, Bob Hausleiter, said Snook is survived by his wife and 7-year-old daughter. He was to be buried Thursday afternoon at St. Brendan's Catholic Church in Cumming.</p><p>"For this young man to come home and to die in his wife's arms, in downtown Atlanta, is just something none of us can accept," Hausleiter said.</p>
