JAMESTOWN — The mayor of a small Western Pennsylvania town says her grandson, an Army nurse, has been killed by a sniper in Afghanistan.

Jamestown mayor Esther McClimans tells The Herald newspaper of Sharon that Army reserve Capt. Joshua McClimans was killed Friday near Kabul.

The mayor says Army officials came to the town about 75 miles northwest of Pittsburgh to notify Michael McClimans, the soldier’s father. The Army says McClimans was on his way to work at an Army hospital when he was shot.
