By Melissa Newton
BLUM (CBS 11 / TXA 21)A small Hill County town is rattled after a soldier, home on leave from Iraq is shot and killed. It happened early Saturday morning in the town of Blum, about 20 miles south of Cleburne.
It was supposed to be a joyful reunion, but that joy has now turned to grief as many in the small town are coping with the death of a young soldier.
Private Cody Patterson had just arrived back from Iraq last week. The plan was to spend the next two weeks visiting family in Blum. But early Saturday Patterson was shot and killed in the bedroom of his home.
Patterson's aunt, Joyce Williamson is still in disbelief. "It don't seem real… it just don't. He was just like one of my own. I watched him grow up to be a heck of a man," she said.
