These are the questions the reporter wanted to know.
"The unanswered queries include: Was the soldier going to the chaplain’s office as a cry for help? He had recently returned from deployment, so was he provided any mental health assistance on the day of his arrest? Was he considered a danger to himself?"
He was in the military for 12 years! He must have had some run in with the Chaplain before this but so far, no one knows what happened. He walked in with a gun but was not arrested for threatening the Chaplain according to the reports. What happened here and why is he dead?
Soldier found dead after arrest for gun

FORT HUACHUCA — A 12-year Army veteran died “of an apparent gunshot wound,” a few hours after being arrested Monday for carrying a gun into a fort building, post spokeswoman Tanja Linton stated in a press release Wednesday.
The death of Sgt. 1st Class Jose J. Algarin-Colon occurred Monday afternoon, but the release was delayed until 24 hours after his family was notified.
Monday morning, the soldier was arrested by military police for “bringing a loaded weapon to Greely Hall,” Linton’s press release stated. That incident was reported as a brief, without the soldier’s name, in Tuesday’s edition of the Herald/Review, with no other details coming from the post public affairs office.
Sources said the 38-year-old soldier had gone into the building carrying the gun and had gone to the chaplain’s office, which reported him to post law enforcement for carrying a weapon into the building.
Such actions generally violate military law, which only allows law enforcement officials or soldiers during exercises to enter military structures with weapons, although generally during exercises the non-law enforcement soldiers do not have ammunition.
