LT Frank Toner, USN a 2006 graduate of Kings Point was killed in Afghanistan. I believe he is the second graduate of KP to have been killed in action during the current wars. Army Lt Aaron Seesan, '03 is the only other graduate I know of. My prayers go out to Frank's family, friends, and all those who loved him.
Below is the most current information I have:

It is with great sadness that I must inform you that United States Navy LT
Frank Toner; class of 2006 lost his life while serving his country in
Afghanistan. Frank was originally from Thousand Oaks, CA and is survived by
his wife Brook. LT Toner was a Navy Seabee who was stationed with the Army
in Northern Afghanistan. Frank was a four-year letter winner in football.
He was a linebacker and fullback.
The following details were provided by a fellow officer who was at the
scene: Frank and a group of other Navy and Army personnel were out running.
An insurgent who posed as an Afghan soldier positioned himself as a sniper
and fired at the joggers as they ran by. Another officer was killed, one
wounded (he will be ok) and another shaken up. LT was killed while trying
to get to the shooter. His actions saved the lives of others and the
officer reporting said he was "a hero."
