FREDERICK, Md. (AP) Chaplain Lt. Col. Gregory “Scott” Jackson was in his office at the Fort Detrick chapel, surrounded by his books, when he learned the post was on lockdown.
He locked the door. Sirens blared. His wife sent him messages.
Later, he responded to the emergency operations center, where he learned more about what occurred.
As garrison chaplain, Jackson’s role is to be an ear that listens, a moral compass, a spiritual adviser and in a crisis like Tuesday’s to be part of the emergency family response team.

By ROSE L. THAYER | STARS AND STRIPES Published: April 7, 2021 One of two sailors wounded Tuesday in a shooting near Fort Detrick, Md., has been released from a Baltimore hospital, though the other is still in critical condition, according to the Navy. The two men were shot at about 8:20 a.m. by Petty Officer 3rd Class Fantahun Woldesenbet, 38, at a Navy warehouse located in Frederick, the city outside of the Army base. After shooting the two sailors, Fantahun drove to Fort Detrick, attempted to enter the base and was killed about 25 minutes later as he ran from base police. All three sailors were assigned to a Navy research center at Fort Detrick, but officials have declined to offer any possible motive in the shooting.
