Former Indiana runner Charles Keating IV killed on Navy SEAL mission in Iraq

Sad, terrible, and awful news for the Indiana Hoosier community tonight.

Charles Keating, who left Indiana's cross-country and track teams after two seasons to enlist in the active military, was killed yesterday on a Navy SEAL advise-and-assist mission in Iraq. NBCNews has information available on the incident that led to Keating's death here.

Keating -- who followed in his father's athletic footsteps at Indiana -- was engaged, and his fiance was reportedly set to pick out her wedding dress this week.
