Fort Carson plans to hold a memorial service Wednesday for a soldier and his pregnant wife who were killed by an apparent burglar last week.

The service for Staff Sgt. David Dunlap and his wife, Whitney, will be held at Provider Chapel at the Army post.

Colorado Springs police have said the Dunlaps were shot when they returned home at about noon on Jan. 14 and surprised a burglar in their home.

Seventeen-year-old Mayco January was arrested on suspicion of first-degree murder in their deaths. January will be in court tomorrow. A 19-year-old man was also arrested on suspicion of being an accessory to first-degree murder and of harboring a fugitive.
