Airman found dead at F.E. Warren was under investigation for M18 incident

[Talyn]

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.

Sounds like "other" things are going on there. My first question is why wasn't that airman locked up after shooting someone for starters.

I was at Fe Warrens sister base in 91-93 at Malmstrom AGB Montana (Great Falls) we had a 1,200 man Security Forces Group with 4 squadrons.

While FE has had their share of odd incidents leading to fatalities that’s just the missile field .

We lost about one troop a month to vehicle accidents, suicides or murder suicides. And some other freak illness

And that was just the SF Group. Base side had stuff as well.

Hopefully FE gets a check on it because a lot of stuff is just preventable

Something fishy is happening. I don’t think everything will make the news either. I also smell double jeopardy is going to happen.

But was the Airman, and if so, why was he released??

Call Warren AFB.

I'm sure they can address your question.

I don’t know the specifics of FE Warren case but nothing I have read specifically mentioned if he was in custody or not at the time of death. If in custody I would presume he hung himself (20 years in the Federal Orison system I have seen a lot of hangings, ODs and murders)

There could be a few cases where he was released and confined to quarters we just don’t know but folks like to speculate and have theories and conjecture.
Next someone will say Sig did it!
