As we reported to you earlier, a shooting incident near Kirtland Air Force Base early Saturday morning left one dead and another injured. We have since learned from an official Air Force source that the deceased and the injured individual are both Airmen.
According to the Public Affairs Office at the Air Force, Security Forces members from the 377th Security Forces Squadron responded to the incident at approximately 2 AM on February 22, 2025, near the base’s Truman entrance. One Airman sustained a nonfatal gunshot wound to the hand. The injured airman was transported to the University of New Mexico Medical Hospital for treatment. He was released later with no life-threatening injuries. Authorities discovered the other Airman dead at the scene on Truman just north of Gibson.

The circumstances surrounding the incident are still under investigation, per the Air Force Public Affairs Office. The Air Force Office of Special Investigations is leading the inquiry in coordination with assistance from the FBI and the Albuquerque Police Department. Earlier today, while we were at scene, we observed APD crime scene specialists collecting evidence.
The release states the “Kirtland Truman Gate Pass office remains closed until further notice.“
Authorities stated that updates will be provided as more information becomes available. They have also assured the public that there is no ongoing threat from this incident.

I assume someone trying to get passed the gate or start some shit with the gate guards, maybe a gang initiation. I’ve heard gangs use the base for initiations, make their people try to sneak on and stuff like that.
