(AP) \u2014 Authorities say a security guard found dead in downtown Tacoma was severely beaten by an Army Ranger after she tried to stop the intoxicated man from entering a building, according to court documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thenewstribune.com\/news\/local\/article252984073.html\" target=\"_blank\">News Tribune&nbsp;reports<\/a>&nbsp;that on Friday, Pierce County prosecutors charged 26-year-old Spc. Patrick Byrne, who is stationed at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, with two counts of first-degree murder, first-degree burglary and two counts of first-degree kidnapping. It wasn\u2019t immediately clear if Byrne had an attorney.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Byrne is assigned to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.armytimes.com\/news\/your-army\/2020\/08\/24\/fallen-ranger-died-freeing-talibans-prisoners-last-year\/\" target=\"_blank\">2nd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment<\/a>, according to an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.armytimes.com\/news\/your-army\/2019\/08\/27\/ranger-was-killed-by-afghan-friendly-fire-during-night-raid-on-al-qaida-investigation-shows\/\" target=\"_blank\">Army Special Operations Command<\/a> news release. He entered the Army as an infantryman in March 2019. After completing the Ranger Assessment and Selection Program in July 2020, Byrne was assigned to his current battalion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 41-year-old victim has not been publicly identified. She was found about 6:10 a.m. Sunday in the lobby of a building where she\u2019d recently started working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDetectives who later examined the victim reported that the victim was unrecognizable due to the severity of the injuries that were inflicted on her,\u201d prosecutors wrote in charging papers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to charging papers Byrne was out drinking with friends in downtown Tacoma and got into a bar fight where he was punched in the face. He then left the bar and walked in the direction of the building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Authorities say Byrne approached the front door and the security guard motioned for him to leave. When he didn\u2019t, the security guard opened the front door and Byrne tried to barge past her. The security guard grabbed his shirt to stop him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s when he began beating her for 8 to 10 minutes, records say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDuring that time the defendant repeatedly punched the victim with his fists, and he grabbed her by her braid and \u2018dragged her around like a rag doll,\u2019\u201d prosecutors wrote in charging papers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Byrne told detectives he did not remember the attack, according to authorities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spc.
