FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – An active shooter incident was reported Thursday, Aug. 25 at Fort Campbell near Campbell Army Airfield.

The soldier allegedly entered Hangar 8 on the airfield at approximately 11:30 a.m. and fired two shots, according to a press release.

Installation law enforcement responded to the scene. The soldier fled the hangar in his privately owned vehicle and law enforcement pursued.

During the pursuit, the soldier hit another vehicle but was able to drive to his on-post residence. He attempted to leave his vehicle on foot, but was apprehended by law enforcement and taken into custody.

Officers discovered additional weapons and ammunition in the soldier’s vehicle.

Motive for the shooting is unknown, but the investigation is ongoing. The solider remains in the custody of the Army Criminal Investigative Division on post.

No injuries were reported in this incident, which lasted 30 minutes. However, installation entry gates were temporarily secured and reopened once the soldier was apprehended.

“We consistently train for a myriad of situations and contingencies. This type training also extends to our civilian workforce so that they will also be ready to respond at any given time,” said Brig. Gen. Scott E. Brower, 101st Airborne Division acting senior commander.

“Today, that was tangibly demonstrated by our law enforcement officials, and workers within the incident scene,” Brower said. “The potential for tragedy was there, but due to the rapid response and readiness of everyone involved, a tragedy was successfully averted.”
