March 17, 2026 — Military officials say one person was killed and another wounded Tuesday in a shooting at Holloman Air Force Base near Alamogordo in southern New Mexico. The base went into lockdown at about 5:30 p.m. after reports of an active shooter; the wounded individual was transported for medical care. Security officials later declared the base safe and lifted the lockdown, and a base statement said emergency personnel had responded and there was no ongoing threat. Authorities have not released the identities of those shot or provided further details about the incident. Holloman AFB spans roughly 93 square miles and is home to the 49th Wing, which supports national security operations and includes combat-ready airmen and guardians.
