Air Force Announces Arrest Related to Firearm Death of Airman That Prompted M18 Probe

A person has been arrested in connection to the death of a Security Forces airman after a firearm discharge at F.E. Warren Air Force Base last month that led to service-wide scrutiny of the Sig Sauer M18 handgun.

Airman Brayden Lovan, 21, was killed on July 20 at the Wyoming base while on duty. Air Force Global Strike Command issued an immediate pause and subsequent investigation of the use of 9mm Sig Sauer M18 handguns, and the service as a whole directed a service-wide supplemental inspection of the pistol. The probe into the incident led to Friday's announcement.

"Since then, the investigation has progressed and an individual has now been arrested on suspicion of making a false official statement, obstruction of justice, and involuntary manslaughter," an Air Force spokesperson said in an emailed statement. "As with all individuals accused of a crime, the person arrested in this case is presumed to be innocent until proven guilty in a court of law."
