One dead, one injured after shooting at New Mexico Air Force base
A U.S. Air Force base in New Mexico reported a fatal shooting in the early hours of Saturday morning following an “off-base pursuit” that warranted a rapid response from local law enforcement.
Kirtland Air Force base said the 377th Security Forces Squadron was called to an incident at approximately 2 a.m.
“One Airman received a nonfatal gunshot wound to the hand and was transported to UNM Medical Center for treatment. He has since been released with no life-threatening injuries,” according to a press release from the Air Force.
“The other Airman was found dead at the scene. The cause of death and the incident remains under investigation by local authorities.”
Kirtland Truman Gate Pass office remains closed until further notice according to the authorities. Military officials said the incident was not caused by an outside attack or an act of terrorism.
The Air Force has not released the names of the victim or the shooter.
