A jury is being selected in the case of a Marine Sergeant accused of attacking his family in Reedley.

Investigators say a few years ago Sergeant Dejon Baskin attacked his estranged wife, and her mother with a kitchen knife, and then shot her brother. Baskin and his wife were in the process of getting a divorce.

He has plead not guilty to all charges against him. His attorney has previously said he went to the home that day to do harm to himself, not his family.
