DAYTON, Ohio – A somber air hangs over Wright-Patterson Air Force Base as officials have released a statement regarding the ongoing investigation into a tragic incident involving a double murder-suicide among three base employees.

The base confirmed that both the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) and the Air Force Office of Special Investigations (OSI) are diligently working to uncover the details surrounding the deaths. The tragic events unfolded between the night of Friday, October 24, and the morning of Saturday, October 25.

The shocking incident has left communities grappling for answers, as they come to terms with the gravity of what has occurred.

“We are profoundly saddened by this devastating event, and our hearts go out to the families and loved ones who are enduring such a painful loss,” expressed Lt.
