Federal Contractor Now Victim After Ft. Cavazos Texas 'Incident'

According to this KCEN article, a federal contractor died during what they are only describing as an "incident" at the Clabber Creek Multi-Use Range yesterday. There was a communication released from Fort Cavazos Garrison Commander Col. Lakicia Stokes that said everyone is cooperating fully as the investigation into exactly what happened is being conducted.

So, not a lot of information to form any opinions yet, but we do know that a guest of Fort Cavazos has passed away, and they were employed as a federal contractor. Once the proper authorities have had a chance to investigate, details that are eligible for disclosing will most likely be given to us, and we will better understand if the "incident" was criminal or accidental.
