[AWP]

The backstory on this will be interesting.

The identities of the victims have not been released, but according to "initial internal Pentagon communications obtained by the Air Force Times, the commanding officer of the 341st K-9 Training Squadron at the base was shot by an airman."

I think you are right about the back story. What ever it is, it was the wrong solution to a temporary problem. I guess if there is any good news here, it is that no LEO's are reported injured. This is sure to touch many lives; prayers out to those touched by this tragic event.

Air Force: Pararescue student shot training squadron commander at Lackland

The Technical Sergeant was a PJ student.

RIP Lt Col Schroeder.

Schroeder, 39, of Ames, Iowa, had run the 342nd since May 2014. Schroeder, whose primary career field was as a J15W3 weather officer, previously was commander of the 10th Combat Weather Squadron at Air Force Special Operations Command at Hurlburt Field, Florida

He was actually the last Commander of the 10th.
He closed the 10th down, and then closed the TACP Schoolhouse down at Hurlburt moving the school to Lackland.

Was in the immediate area when it happened and didn't want to comment till the real news got out. Tragic all around...sad days at Medina.

 

[Grunt]

Simply put...a sad day and a sad story!

Stranger still was he was left the bureau (FBI) to enlist.

He was a fucking shake-n-bake as far as I am concerned.
I'd like to know the real reason he left the FBI.

 

[Johca]

at least one news article suggested he was given the option to resign from the FBI. Also he was former Army.

 

[Diamondback 2/2]

Commander ‘went out swinging’ in Lackland murder-suicide

Apparently LTC Schroeder gave that pussy a few lumps and went out fighting a gunman bare handed.

Rest easy Warrior...

I was wondering how the hell he got in the FBI in the first place? I was really surprised to see he got in at all.

I was waiting for that piece of information to be released on how he was a former Green Beret and didn't want to spread rumors beforehand. Knew a few guys that were in the same indoc class and they all feel terrible for not realizing the signs.

Did he actually make it through SFQC?

The information given to me was he was prior Special Forces, so I'm assuming.
