A message from NAS Oceana commanding officer, Capt. Chad Vincelette:

 

"At approximately 6:45 this morning, an isolated domestic shooting occurred in the parking lot of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 37, outside of Hangar 145 on board Naval Air Station Oceana.

 

A male Sailor shot a female Sailor several times. The victim was transported to Virginia Beach General Hospital with non life-threatening injuries. Both were assigned to VFA-37. We are not identifying them at this time, pending notification of next of kin.

 

The shooter was quickly identified, shot and killed by my Naval Air Station Oceana security personnel. The shooter was armed with a single handgun and was not carrying any additional weapons or ammunition.

 

The city of Virginia Beach Police and Fire Departments, along with Virginia Beach Emergency Medical Services responded to assist. I would like to thank these agencies and my team for resolving the situation quickly and professionally.

 

As I mentioned, the shooting occurred at 6:45 and the situation was resolved by 6:50 am. Less than an hour later, the lockdown was lifted and the base returned to normal operations.

 

The base has a no weapons policy. We do random and periodic inspections for prohibited items. How the Sailor was able to get a weapon on base is part of the investigation.

 

The reason for the shooting is unknown and currently being investigated by Naval Criminal Investigative Service."
