Devin James Kuhn, a 24-year-old Caucasian U.S. Army Ranger and Specialist, died from a gunshot on January 31, 2018, while at Camp Rilea in Warrenton, Oregon. The shooting occurred in a housing area on the base after formal training for the day had ended. Loaded weapons were not permitted in the housing quarters. Emergency services took Kuhn to Columbia Memorial Hospital in Astoria, where he was pronounced dead.

Both the U.S. Army and the Clatsop County Sheriff’s Office investigated how a live round was discharged in the housing area and what caused the fatal injury. Those inquiries concluded the shooting was accidental; no criminal charges were filed and no suspects were named. His family, friends, and fellow service members were left to mourn the loss of a dedicated soldier.

If anyone was at Camp Rilea that evening or has information about the housing area where this happened, please share what is known.
