FORT LEWIS, Wash. (AP) — A soldier was stabbed to death outside a barracks on the Fort Lewis Army post early Friday, and a suspect was in custody, military officials said.

The 22-year-old soldier died at Madigan Army Medical Center about an hour after the attack, according to a news release from the post.

Military police and Army Criminal Investigation Command officers said an investigation was under way. They described the stabbing as “an isolated incident” that should not reflect on overall safety and security at Fort Lewis, located between Tacoma and Olympia.

The slain soldier was not immediately identified.
