DALLAS (WBAP/KLIF) — The Secretary of the Army made a visit to Fort Hood Thursday to address the recent deaths of several U.S. soldiers.
Sec. Ryan McCarthy hosted the news conference where he addressed the death of Spc. Vanessa Guillen and other recent events that have upended the base.
Four Fort Hood soldiers have been found dead in recent weeks. The most recent being Spc. Francisco Gilberto Hernandezvargas who investigators say drowned at the same lake where another soldier’s body, Pvt. Mejhor Morta, was found last month.
Guillen’s family claims she was sexually harassed by the soldier suspected of killing her, but the Army has said there is no evidence supporting the claim.
Last month, McCarthy ordered a review of the command climate at Fort Hood.
Investigators have said there are no indications the incidents are related.
