An Enfield Marine has been killed in action in Iraq, the second war-related death in that town.

Lance Corporal Phillip Johnson's family was notified of their son's death Sunday.

The 19-year-old was killed in Ramadi, Iraq. The family was unclear of the specific details.

Johnson joined the Young Marines at age 11 and joined the corps after graduation from high school.

The town's flags have been lowered to half staff.
