Agency The Associated Press reports that shooting has been opened at the base of the military forces of Fort Lee in Virginia. The shots sounded in the combat support headquarters building, after which the base command immediately decided to declare the alarm.
It turned out that the shooting at the Fort Lee base was opened by a woman who served in this unit. Initially, the American media claimed that “active shooting” was opened by “someone” at co-workers, but then Western publications began to declare that a suicide attempt had been made in Virginia. According to the British newspaper The Independent, the shooting woman was seriously wounded, but no one was injured at the Fort Lee military base, located near the city of Richmond. A woman urgently sent to a military hospital. Her name is still kept secret.
American human rights activists joined the case, who have long noted the growth in the number of suicides and suicide attempts in the American army. The US Army is leading the world in relative numbers of suicidal attempts. However, suicides and attempted suicides among female soldiers for the US military are rare.
After the clashes in Ferguson and reports that the ISIL militants reached the United States, any shots in the States are perceived by citizens with great concern.
