Fort Bragg had several murders/suicides in the years I served (2001-2005)
Was there at the same time. Who were you with? Corps, Division, USASOC or someone else? I was with 44th MEDCOM (28th CSH then G3 staff).

Story reminds me of several years ago when a BN CDR in 525th MI BDE was killed by one of his Soldiers during a Friday safety brief. I had done manifest call and pre-jump at the same exact location several weeks before.

If you were on the left on the access road I passed you many times on my way to Green Ramp for manifest call
