Airman was killed on nuclear weapons base in Wyoming by comrade who had pointed gun at him ‘jokingly’

The Air Force on Friday released new details about a fatal shooting this summer at a Wyoming base, which prompted a month-long suspension of Sig Sauer M18 pistols at nuclear sites.

In a statement, the Air Force said that on July 20 at F.E. Warren Air Force Base near Cheyenne, the alleged shooter, Marcus White‑Allen, pointed his issued M18 pistol at 21-year-old Airman Brayden Lovan’s chest in what investigators described as a “joking manner.”
