Investigations underway into two separate Fort Leonard Wood soldier deaths

Investigations are underway into two separate Fort Leonard Wood soldier deaths in southern Missouri. 

U-S Army officials say a soldier was found with a gunshot wound in a barracks complex Friday night and died at the scene.  

Investigators say foul play is not suspected and the soldier hasn’t been identified. 

The deadly shooting happened one day after the body of a missing Fort Leonard Wood soldier was found. 

Twenty-one-year-old Specialist Joshua Morrison was reported missing after he disappeared while kayaking on the Gasconade River.  

Fort Leonard Wood leaders say they were devastated by the tragic loss.  Both incidents remain under investigation.
