DECATUR/ SULLIVAN - A Moultrie County town is mourning the loss of one of their own tonight. 21-year old Cole Spencer of Gays was killed Saturday while serving with the U.S. Army in Iraq.

Spencer was deployed this past March and was planning to get married once he returned home. Spencer's fiancee says he spent just over a month in Iraq before being killed.

Friends and family of the 21-year old army vet say they still don't know the circumstances surrounding his death. Spencer also leaves behind a 16-year-old brother and his two parents.
