This happened yesterday at Fort Bragg.

The Army soldier who allegedly shot and killed his battalion commander at Fort Bragg, N.C., on Thursday was facing court martial and possible discharge from the Army on criminal charges, U.S. military officials told NBC News. The Army specialist, whose identity has not been released, was also shot and critically wounded, and is not expected to survive.

Other news sources reported that the shooter had shot himself and that another soldier had been wounded by a ricochet.
