A Fort Bliss soldier allegedly opened fire Monday morning on police officers responding to a call from the El Paso, Texas, residence where he was, according to police records.

Fort Bliss officials confirmed the arrested soldier was Spc. Alexander E. Jeffrey, 29, an unmanned aircraft systems operator assigned to the post. The Vacaville, California, native enlisted in March 2016 and arrived at the West Texas installation in early 2017.

Fort Bliss officials didn’t comment further, except stating that the “incident is under investigation.” Jeffrey could not be reached for comment.
