ALAMOGORDO, N.M. (AP) — A shooting that left one person dead and another injured on a U.S. Air Force base in New Mexico was the result of an isolated domestic dispute, military officials said Wednesday.

The shooting Tuesday evening injured an active duty service member stationed at Holloman Air Force Base near Alamogordo, according to a statement from the 49th Wing. It said the person who died was a civilian and military veteran previously stationed at the base.

The two were not married, officials said. Neither was identified by name. The Associated Press left email and phone messages Wednesday afternoon seeking more information.

The base was placed on lockdown for nearly three hours starting Monday evening after reports of an active shooter near the convenience store on base. Officials say the shooting remains under investigation.

Hollman houses the 49th Wing, which supports national security work and is located about 100 miles (160 kilometers) north of El Paso, Texas, according to its website.

Between prices and a diarrhea-causing parasite, lettuce is causing hard times at some restaurants

By The Associated Press
It’s been a choppy year for restaurants that lean into lettuce. Lettuce prices rose sharply in the first half of 2026 due to hot weather in Arizona, where about one-third of America’s lettuce is grown. Now, restaurants are dealing with the fallout from a cyclospora outbreak linked to shredded lettuce that has sickened thousands of Americans. Taco Bell will likely see the biggest sales impact from the outbreak, which began in late June. Federal health officials first tied the outbreak to shredded iceberg lettuce served at Taco Bell restaurants in Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and West Virginia. Later, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said customers in Illinois, Kansas, Oklahoma and Pennsylvania were also affected. Taco Bell said on July 17 that it had voluntarily removed shredded iceberg lettuce supplied by Taylor Farms from its U.S. restaurants. But its customer volume has suffered. As of July 23, Taco Bell visits were 21% lower than average across the U.S., according to Placer.ai, a market research company.
