The soldiers died when their military vehicle flipped over in a flood-swollen creek on Thursday at Fort Hood Army post in central Texas. Updated Sun, June 5th 2016 at 10:43 GMT +3The U.S. military released the names on Saturday of eight of nine soldiers who were killed this week when their vehicle overturned in flood waters in Texas. The identity of the ninth soldier killed will be released after the next of kin are formally notified. The vehicle overturned at a low-water crossing and military officials have not said why the convoy was training near a swollen waterway. Torrential rains over the past week have deluged hundreds of homes and led to prison evacuations in the area.
