Four people were killed on Wednesday in a shooting at a US Army base in Texas, including the suspected shooter, a soldier seeking treatment for psychological complaints, officials said.
Sixteen were injured, including three in critical condition.
The gunman opened fire on the base around 4 pm (2100 GMT) before climbing into a vehicle and firing several shots as he drove to another part of the base, where he left the vehicle before being engaged by security forces.
“The shooter is dead from a self-inflicted gunshot,” Lieutenant General Mark Milley, commanding general of the base’s III Corps, told reporters.
The suspect had reported suffering “depression, anxiety and a variety of other” complaints after being stationed in Iraq for four months in 2011, Milley said.
“He was currently under diagnosis for PTSD but had not yet been diagnosed.” The weapon was not military issue, he said.
