A gunman killed two airmen and wounded two other airmen in an incident Wednesday at Frankfurt International Airport in Frankfurt, Germany, US Air Forces in Europe officials announced. The Air Force is withholding the names of the deceased pending notification of their families. German authorities have the shooter in custody and are investing the incident. USAFE will release more details as they become available, said the officials. Associated Press reports that the gunman, allegedly a 21-year-old man from Kosovo, fired at the airmen as they were on a military bus sitting outside an airport terminal.
U.S. Southern Command recently announced its first lethal strike on a suspected narco-trafficking vessel in two months, and the first under a newly formed permanent counter-cartel task force. The U.S. is also reportedly planning to transfer MQ-9 drones to Colombia to bolster its counter-cartel efforts.
