FORT BRAGG, N.C. — The apparent accidental shooting death of a soldier on a jog on a 21-mile trail just outside of Fort Bragg has prompted officials to install permanent signs reminding runners and bikers the path is closed for three months during hunting season.

The new, brightly colored metal signs were installed at each entry point to the All American Trail and on some roads leading to the path. The signs are green when the trail is open, but can folded down to show a red warning sign telling people the trail is closed during hunting season from Oct. 1 to Jan. 3, Fort Bragg range officer Bill Edwards told The Fayetteville Observer.

Officials at the Army base reviewed safety on the trail after 33-year-old Capt. Jeremiah Sipes, Belgrade, Mont., was shot and killed Jan. 1. A man calling 911 said his friend accidentally shot the soldier while they were hunting. The Army’s Criminal Investigation Command is still investigating the shooting.
