AUSTIN, Texas — A Fort Bliss soldier was shot and wounded early Tuesday morning by military police after he pointed a gun at them following a confrontation with a car service driver, officials at the west Texas base said.

Described as a 20-year-old Hispanic man on his first duty assignment with the Army, the soldier pointed a handgun at the five military police soldiers who arrived on scene in the 1st Armored Division’s area of the base, Lt. Col. Allie Payne, spokeswoman for the division and Fort Bliss, said Tuesday afternoon during a news conference. She did not release the soldier’s name.

“We have no idea to the motive or what happened beforehand,” Payne said. “We’ll find that out after the ongoing investigation.”
