FORT HOOD, Texas (AP) - Fort Hood officials have a soldier behind bars after another soldier was shot and killed at a party on the Central Texas Army post.
They say 30-year-old Spc. Ryan Richard Schlack of Oshkosh, Wis., died Saturday. The Killeen Daily Herald reports he was hit by a bullet another soldier fired into a crowd on the lawn.
Fort Hood spokesman Bruce Zielsdorf (ZEELS'-dorf) says the soldier suspected of firing the gun is in custody, but it's unclear Monday if he's been charged.
Schlack entered the military in 2004 as a computer detection systems repairer and arrived at Fort Hood in 2005. He was assigned to the 27th Brigade Support Battalion, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division.
