Two sources within the Special Forces community have informed Connecting Vets that the first female Green Beret accidentally discharged a firearm in her home, and the incident is now being investigated by the Colorado Springs Police Department. The incident occurred on Dec. 12.
“Our command is engaged with local authorities regarding an incident involving one of our soldiers and an apparent accidental discharge of a firearm at an off-post residence in Colorado Springs," Maj. Dan Lessard, spokesperson for 1st Special Forces Command (Airborne), told Connecting Vets.
"While the handgun was discharged inside an apartment, no injuries occurred. Because the incident occurred off-post, local authorities have jurisdiction," he said. "We will continue to coordinate with local authorities and closely monitor the civilian case as it moves towards resolution in municipal court."
