Four dead, eight injured as soldier opens fire on Iran military base
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAt least four soldiers are killed and eight injured when one of their colleagues opened fire on a military air base in southern Tehran earlier today, the Iranian military says in a statement.
The incident was “probably related to psychological problems of the soldier who suddenly started firing on his comrades,” the statement says.
It took place on a shooting range, and could also have been the result of a gun misfiring, the statement adds. “The injured were transported to a medical center and an investigation has been opened.”
