That leaves "accident" and "homicide," right?

4. Could be gun play

quick draw type practicing. However, 5:30 pm is usually a busy time at a main gate, so it would be unusual for someone to be bored and playing around with his/her gun/weapon. (Which is inappropriate/unlawful at any hour)

2. Go Gibbs..... N/T

3. Expect a court martial

as a minimum probably manslaughter charges with murder charges if there was intent.

5. If only a good guy with a gun was there... oh wait... nt

6. So, of the two armed GI's, half are dead.

Is any futher consideration of arming all on base needed?
