AP)MANAMA, Bahrain Two U.S. Navy sailors were killed and a third was critically wounded early Monday in a shooting incident on a U.S. military base in Bahrain, the U.S. Navy said.
The incident was not terror related and was under investigation, a Navy official said on condition of anonymity as they weren't authorized to discuss the case with the media.
"Initial reports indicate the incident involved U.S. military personnel only," according to the statement.
No other details were immediately available.
The shootings took place in the barracks on the U.S. Naval Support Activity Bahrain base around 5 a.m. local time, the Navy said in a statement. It wasn't immediately clear what triggered the shootings.
The two sailors were pronounced dead at the scene, and the third was taken to a local hospital in critical condition, the statement said.
Officials closed the base temporarily and reopened it about an hour after the incident.
Bahrain, a tiny island nation in the Persian Gulf, is a close U.S. ally and home to the Navy's 5th Fleet, which is responsible for an area of about 2.5 million square miles of water including the Persian Gulf, Arabian Sea, Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, Gulf of Oman and parts of the Indian Ocean.
The United States maintains about 40,000 troops in Persian Gulf countries other than Iraq, including 3,000 in Bahrain.
