Authorities at Naval Support Activity Mechanicsburg have identified the base police officer who died from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound Monday evening.

The victim was identified as Brian R. Lupo, 36, of Shippensburg, a 10-year veteran of the police force, as well as a member of the Pennsylvania National Guard and veteran of Iraqi Freedom in 2008, officials at the base said.

Lupo reported for duty yesterday at 9 p.m. and a short time later he was found shot at the police headquarters, officials said.

He was flown to the Hershey Medical Center where he died at about 11:25 p.m., officials said.

Authorities said no one else was injured and no one else was involved in the incident.

"Our thoughts and prayers are with his children and extended family," Capt. Kyle Bryan, the base commanding officer, said in a statement.
