FORT KNOX, Ky. — The Army is investigating a Fort Knox soldier’s death Wednesday afternoon from an apparent gunshot wound. He was an Army specialist in the 16th Cavalry Regiment, which includes the Army’s Armor School, officials said.
The soldier’s name has not been released pending notification of family. A Defense Department policy prohibits releasing names until 24 hours after next of kin is informed.
A Fort Knox spokesman declined to say whether the death was a result of a training accident. Officials say the soldier received care from an on-site medic and then was flown to University Hospital in Louisville.
