Update on Friday Evening Case at Fort Riley

fort riley plainFort Riley officials early Saturday morning confirmed a teenage family member died of a gunshot wound Friday evening. They said it was an isolated incident and there was no active shooter.

Fort Riley leaders are providing support to the affected families.

The incident is under investigation by the Criminal Investigation Division of the U.S. Army.

Garrison Commander Andrew Cole stated, “Fort Riley is a close-knit family and the loss of one of our own affects us all. A tragedy of this type is felt by each and every member. Together, we can make it through and we will provide the necessary resources available to help all those involved, like our chaplains, counselors and resources within the Army Community Services.”

Officials Monday were unable to release any further information until the investigation is complete.
