An airman found dead at F.E. Warren Air Force Base in Wyoming earlier this month was under investigation for an on-duty shooting that led to a service pistol being briefly pulled from duty across two major Air Force commands.
The on-duty shooting death became a national story when it was initially reported as a possible misfire by an M18 service pistol, the primary duty sidearm in all U.S. military services. Within days, officials with Air Force Global Strike Command — which oversees F.E. Warren and all Air Force nuclear weapons — ordered the pistol shelved until a full safety inspection was done on every individual weapon. Officials at Air Combat Command, the service’s largest major command, followed suit.
However, that story quickly changed as investigators looked into the shooting. Service eventually announced they had arrested an airman on charges of manslaughter and making a false statement in the shooting. The pistols were returned to duty.
