DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (CNN) -- Two U.S. sailors were killed and one was critically wounded in a shooting inside their barracks early Monday at a U.S. Navy's base in Bahrain, the Navy said.
The shootings took place in the barracks on the U.S. Naval Support Activity Bahrain base around 5 a.m. local time, the Navy said in a statement, according to The Associated Press. There was no information on what caused the shootings, or if they were terror-related.
The two sailors pronounced dead at the scene, and the third was taken to a local hospital in critical condition, the statement said.
The base was closed for an hour after the incident. The Navy said the shootings were under investigation. No other details were immediately available. |
