Fort Bragg, N.C. — One contractor was killed Tuesday, and a second contractor and a soldier were wounded during a training operation at Fort Bragg, officials said.
The accident occurred at Range 77 on post, but no details of the incident were released. A Fort Bragg spokeswoman said the incident wasn't related to Robin Sage training exercise that started last weekend or a joint training exercise with Marines from Camp Lejeune.
A range control contractor was shot and died at Womack Army Medical Center. A second range control contractor also was shot and was airlifted to UNC Hospitals in Chapel Hill for treatment.
A bullet grazed the arm of a soldier who is a student at the John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School at Fort Bragg. He was being treated at Womack Army Medical Center.
The identities of the two contractors and the soldier haven't been released.
The incident remains under investigation.
