What Really Happened With That SIG M18 at FE Warren Air Force Base.<\/a><\/p>\n

Two airmen at a Wyoming U.S. Air Force base have pleaded guilty to making false statements about the deadly shooting of a third that prompted the suspension of Sig Sauer M18 pistol use at nuclear weapons sites for a month, the Air Force said in a statement Friday.<\/p>\n

The gun pause by the Air Force Global Strike Command after the death of Brayden Lovan, 21, in late July was lifted in late August after Air Force officials determined the M18 was safe to carry.<\/p>\n

Lovan was an airman with the 90th Security Forces Squadron, 90th Missile Wing at F.E. Warren Air Force Base outside Cheyenne.<\/p>\n

Details about his death were released for the first time Friday, including that the alleged shooter, Marcus White-Allen, had pointed the gun at Lovan\u2019s chest in a \u201cjoking manner.\u201d White-Allen after the shooting allegedly urged the other two surviving airmen to lie about what happened, according to the statement. \u2026<\/p>\n

White-Allen allegedly told [Airman Sarbjot] Badesha, \u201cHere\u2019s the story. Tell them that I slammed my duty belt on the desk and it went off.\u201d White-Allen allegedly told Rodriguez to tell emergency responders that White-Allen\u2019s \u201cholster went off,\u201d according to the statement.<\/p>\n

Neither airman initially reported that information, leading investigators to believe at first that White-Allen\u2019s M18 accidentally discharged, according to the statement.<\/p>\n
