Steven D. Bellino killed Lieutenant Colonel William \u201cBill\u201d Schroeder, commander of the 342nd Training Squadron at Lackland Air Force Base. Bellino then turned the gun on himself. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/news\/checkpoint\/wp\/2016\/04\/09\/shooter-in-apparent-murder-suicide-was-former-fbi-agent-training-in-air-force-special-operations\/?hpid=hp_rhp-top-table-main_cp-shooter-1252pm%3Ahomepage%2Fstory\">Washington Post<\/a> says that Bellino was an FBI agent and an Army veteran of the Iraq War before he joined the AIr Force to become a pararescue &#8220;PJ&#8221;.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Bellino, first identified by The Washington Post early Saturday afternoon, had previously worked for less than two years in the FBI, partly in the New York field office. It was not immediately clear how Bellino obtained the rank of technical sergeant, a mid-ranking enlisted airman, after serving in the Air Force for less than a year. But the Air Force does have a program that allows veterans with previous military experience to join the service full time to take specific jobs that are hard to fill, including pararescueman.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mysanantonio.com\/news\/local\/article\/Commander-went-out-swinging-in-Lackland-7238799.php?cmpid=fb-mobile\">San Antonio Express-News<\/a> says that Bellino went AWOL after failing the water endurance test and he was facing disciplinary proceedings the morning of the murder\/suicide.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>On Friday Bellino came to Forbes Hall on the pretext of accepting nonjudicial punishment, according to the blog and law enforcement and military sources who spoke on background because of the ongoing investigation. <\/p>\n<p>[&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p>When the assailant, armed with two Glock handguns, produced a weapon, Schroeder told the senior NCO, a first sergeant, to run.<\/p>\n<p>During the struggle, the technical sergeant fired at the first sergeant but missed her as she fled. Schroeder then fought with the assailant and was shot three times in the arm before being shot in the head.<\/p>\n<p>The account could not be confirmed by Air Force officials at Joint Base San Antonio, which is handling the case. The San Antonio Express-News asked to speak with someone from the command, but they declined to respond.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Friday, Technical Sgt.
