Petty Officer 3rd Class Fantahun Woldesenbet shot and critically wounded two sailors working at a site outside of Fort Detrick, Md., on Tuesday morning before military police shot and killed him for breaching a gate at the Army base and pulling out a weapon.

Military and civilian law enforcement did not say whether 38-year-old Woldesenbet, a Navy hospital corpsman who was assigned to Fort Detrick, worked at the overflow site in Frederick where he opened fire on fellow sailors, nor did they speculate on the motive behind the shooting.

      U.S. Navy's Afloat Accident Rate Hits Decade High, Led by MSC

      The U.S. Naval Safety Command has released its accident numbers for FY2024, and the report shows a rising rate of serious mishaps in the fleet. The number of afloat Class A mishaps - accidents resulting in a fatality, permanent disability, or property damage over $2.5 million - rose to a decade-high number, led by accidents in the surface fleet and a spike in casualties at Military Sealift Command. To be sure, the statistics suggest that the Navy loses far fewer personnel at sea than on land. The average rate of class A mishaps is many times higher on shore, where personal motor vehicle accidents claim the lives of about 40 sailors a year - the majority in motorcycle crashes. (On average, off-duty motorcycle riding is the most dangerous activity in the Navy.)
