FORT HOOD â Four soldiers were honored Tuesday for their actions in taking down a gunman at Fort Hood on Feb. 6.
The 3rd Cavalry Regiment âBrave Riflesâ troopers disregarded their own safety and leapt into action when a former soldier visiting the regimental area allegedly opened fire with a handgun, subduing the shooter and taking away the weapon until military police could arrive on scene.
The soldiers were awarded the Army Commendation Medal by the regimentâs commander, Col. Kevin Bradley. They are 2nd Lt. Hayden Lewis, with the regimentâs Longknife Squadron; Staff Sgt. Luis Liendo, Longknife Squadron; Spc. Hayden Allen, Regimental Engineer Squadron; and Spc. Anthony Marinelli, Regimental Engineer Squadron.
In Waco Tuesday, a federal grand jury returned an indictment against 28-year-old former U.S. Army soldier Ricardo Manuele Davila-DeJesus for discharging a firearm while on Fort Hood over the weekend, stated U.S. Attorney Ashley C. Hoff and FBI Special Agent in Charge Christopher Combs, San Antonio Division.
The indictment charges Davila-DeJesus with aggravated assault with a dangerous weapon. According to court documents, on Saturday, the defendant became intoxicated and got into an argument with several individuals inside the barracks.
The argument continued outside when the defendant pulled out a .45 caliber pistol and discharged his firearm in the direction of a soldier who, fearing for his life, had retreated back into the barracks. Other individuals who were at the scene managed to subdue and disarm the defendant.
