GAYLORD (WWJ/AP) - A Michigan native was injured in the bomb attack in Syria this week.
Family members confirm that U.S. Army Captain Jonathan Turnbull, of Gaylord, was seriously injured and was in critical condition. His family's pastor told reporters that he lost his right eye.
Turnbull had surgery in Iraq and was expected to be moved to Germany in the coming days.
A GoFundMe account has been set up to support Turnbull and his family, who live in North Carolina; his parents live in Gaylord.
Two American civilians and 14 others were killed Wednesday in the attack, which happened in the U.S.-patrolled town of Manbij. Islamic State militants claimed responsibility.
The government identified the victims as 37-year-old Army Chief Warrant Officer Jonathan Farmer, of Boynton Beach, Florida; 35-year-old Navy Chief Cryptologic Technician Shannon Kent, of upstate New York; and Department of Defense civilian Scott Wirtz, of St. Louis, Missouri. The fourth victim was a contractor supporting the Defense Department; his name was not released.
Video released by local activists and news agencies showed a restaurant that suffered extensive damage and a street covered with debris and blood. Several cars were also damaged. Another video showed a helicopter flying over the area.
A security camera showed a busy street, and then a ball of fire engulfing people and others running for cover as the blast went off.
Attacks targeting members of the U.S.-led coalition in Syria have been rare.
In March last year, a roadside bomb killed two coalition personnel, an American and a Briton, and wounded five in Manbij.
