A soldier barricaded herself in an office and then shot herself to death at a US Army command post in Virginia on Monday, prompting a temporary lockdown of the base, officials said.


The soldier later died of her wounds at a local hospital near Fort Lee, about 130 miles south of the US capital in Washington, the army said in a statement.

Around 8:45 am , the soldier entered the Combined Arms Support Command Headquarters at Fort Lee, "brandished a weapon and then barricaded herself in an office with the weapon," it said.
