(WSBT) WSBT News has learned a soldier from Rochester was killed in Iraq. We have very few details right now, but a family member is confirming the death of Rochester native Nick Patterson, a 2001 graduate of Rochester Community High School.

Rochester High School principal Dan Ronk told WSBT News Patterson played baseball and basketball.

We're not sure when or how he was killed. We know at least 7 U.S. servicemen died Monday in Iraq in a vehicle accident. There's no word yet if Patterson was involved in that crash.

WSBT has a crew in Rochester. We'll bring you more on WSBT News at 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. and online.
