         Army employee shot, killed at Fort Knox in Kentucky

Guard authorities are exploring a lethal shooting that brought about an impermanent lockdown at Fort Knox on Wednesday nighttime. 

A male schmuck was shot in a parking garage on the base about 5:40 p.m. The schmuck was transported to the Ireland Army Community Hospital where he was purported dead. 

Guard authorities stated in a news discharge late Wednesday that the schmuck was a representative of the U.S. Guard Human Resources Command, which handles staff activities for fighters. 

Police were looking to talk with an individual of investment in the case, depicted as a 5-foot, 9-inch dark man who is American and is accepted to be utilizing a dark Yamaha cruiser for transportation. 

Fortification Knox representative Kyle Hodges stated late Wednesday that Fort Knox stayed on an elevated security alarm, yet stated authorities don't accept the individual of investment was still on post. 

The 109,000-plot of land equal to 4840 square yards complex is nearby the other "Fort Knox" —the invigorated U.S. Bullion Depository that holds a great part of the country's official gold saves.
