One person is dead, and another is injured after a shooting at a New Mexico Air Force base.
The shooting at Kirtland Air Force Base took place at approximately 2:00 a.m. Saturday morning after an “off-base pursuit.”
“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,” the Air Force said in a press release.
“The other Airman was found dead at the scene. The cause of death and the incident remains under investigation by local authorities.”
The Air Force did not release information about the shooter or any potential motive but did say it was not an act of terrorism.
The Hill reports:
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 said there is no threat to the public and law enforcement is not seeking any additional suspects.
