BROCKTON — Army recruiter Raymond Kerr was found clinging to life, gun in hand, in his car in the parking lot outside the military recruiting office on Westgate Drive on Monday morning.

The 33-year-old Army sergeant was shot in the head in what appeared to be a self-inflicted wound, police said. Kerr, who most recently lived in Whitman, was flown to a Boston hospital on Monday, where he remained Tuesday afternoon.

If investigators officially rule the case an attempted suicide, it would be part of a troubling trend in the military.
