It said: "The installation has been locked down until further notice."
Local media later reported the base had been given the all clear. Fort Lee's daily population is about 34,000

While I've been to that Ft Lee, it is not the first place I think of when I hear Ft Lee. One too many times crossing the GWB [Flower]

Female suspect in custody. "The event is over."

[275RLTW]

DoD reported a female soldier went into an office with a loaded pistol and shot herself. No other injuries.


I guess it was PT test day...

Well, obviously, women in the military should not be allowed to have access to firearms. They are just too dangerous to themselves, especially at that time of the month.

So...PMS+PTSD=self inflicted (fatal) gunshot wound. Did no one else have a firearm?

Oh, wait....of corse not, it's a military base.

Make snarky comments like that if you want, but regardless she was a senior NCO service member who was obviously in distress. You have zero knowledge of what led to her decision to end her life.
Why do you think a massive armed response was required? She did not barricade herself with anyone else nor is it reported that she threatened anyone else. Mental health issues for service members deserve more thoughtful discussion than your PMS PTSD crap.
Who knows what demons she was fighting.
Not every nail is the same and doesn't need the same hammer.

Although I think that Duman's comments were made "tongue-in-cheek" I will have to agree with you. No one knows what she was up against and we should wait till the investigation is over, and the details revealed.

I don't need to wait for anything to be saddened by another vet taking their own life. RIP.

Thank you Top. I work in the Army medical system and see and deal with them every day. Also do a lot of work at the WTU and my current boss was the 1sgt there. Sad way to exorcize the demons she may have had.

Well said.

We can spout off until we are blue in the face, about how selfish suicide is, but at the end of the day we don't know what was going on with her. How horrible were things for her, that she felt this was the best option. RIP and peace be with her friends and family.
