The Marines Corps has officially dismissed 22-year-old Yonathan Melaku, a reservist after he was charged with several shootings at the Pentagon and other military buildings.

Melaku was arrested after he was caught trespassing inside Arlington National Cemetery after dark. Police say he had with him bomb-making materials.
