Two
of those wounded were critically injured, Fort Jackson said in a
statement. Those injured were taken to an off-site hospital, it
said. Names were not released pending the notification of
relatives.
Fort Jackson called the incident "tragic" and said the cause
will be investigated. A Fort Jackson representative did not
immediately respond to a request for more information about the
incident.
"Our hearts and prayers go out to the families of the soldiers
we lost today and to the families of the injured, they represent
the best of our Nation and we will endeavor to support all those
affected through this difficult time," U.S. Army Training Center
and Fort Jackson Commander Major General Pete Johnson said in
the statement.
