A soldier was held for questioning Thursday in connection with a shooting at Fort Knox that left one Army civilian employee dead, Army officials said.
Authorities in Tennessee were questioning the soldier, who is assigned to Fort Knox‘s 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division.
“Special Agents from the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command are continuing the investigation and as previously released, the shooting appears to be a domestic issue and not a random act of violence,” said Chris Grey, spokesman for the independent Army investigative agency.
An employee of the U.S. Army Human Resources Command was shot and killed in a parking lot at Kentucky’s Fort Knox on Wednesday.
The identity of the victim was being withheld pending notification of family.
The Army post’s gates were locked down shortly after the shooting as a security measure.
