Highland Falls, New York (CNN) The half-mile-long business district here ends at the main gate to the US Military Academy, where a West Point cadet was killed and 19 other cadets and two soldiers injured on their way to a training exercise.

"For a little community, something like this touches all of us," said Bernell Johnson, 43, whose barbershop caters to cadets.

"They're not even at war and someone is going to show up at their parents' house with a flag, saying your son is no longer with us. That's very sad."

On Friday, the academy released the name of the cadet killed in the accident -- Christopher J. Morgan, 22, a law and legal studies major from West Orange, New Jersey, who was recruited for the Army wrestling team.

"Chris had an infectious personality with a smile big enough to fill any room, and a heart big enough to love everyone around him," wrestling coach Kevin Ward said in a statement. "He made everyone around him better and he will be greatly missed."
