Holloman Air Force Base near Alamogordo, New Mexico, was the scene of a Tuesday evening shooting that left one person dead and another injured, the U.S. military said. In a statement from the 49th Wing, the Air Force said the incident resulted from an isolated domestic dispute, and it placed the shooting under investigation.
The statement said the shooting injured an active duty service member stationed at Holloman Air Force Base. It said the person who died was a civilian and military veteran who had previously been stationed at the base. Neither person was identified by name.
Officials said the two people involved were not married. The Associated Press reported that it left email and phone messages Wednesday seeking more information.
After initial reports of an active shooter near a convenience store on base, the base was put on lockdown for nearly three hours starting Monday evening. Military officials said the situation remained under investigation even after the lockdown ended.
Holloman houses the 49th Wing, which supports national security work, and the base is located about 100 miles (160 kilometers) north of El Paso, Texas, according to its website.
