On the 9th, in Gangwon-do, an Air Force noncommissioned officer was found dead after being shot in his car.
As a result of the interim investigation, it was revealed that the deceased executive had 70 live ammunition.
This is enough ammunition at the level of individual fully armed in case of emergency, but there are many questions to be answered for what purpose, where, and how the live ammunition was obtained.
This is Kim Tae-hoon, a defense reporter specializing in defense.
<Reporter> The
deceased is Sgt. A, a military police officer belonging to the Air Air Defense Control Command in Pyeongchang, Gangwon Province.
15 bullets for K2 rifles were found in his vehicle, which was found dead on the 9th, and about 60 bullets of the same type were found in the unit's personal locker.
This is the amount of ammunition at the level of personal fully armed in case of emergency.
A military investigative agency official said, "We are tracking why and how Sergeant A had more than 70 live ammunition."
Sergeant A transferred from the 20th Wing to the Air Defense Control Command 9 days before his death.
Therefore, the military investigative agency is expanding the scope of its investigation to reveal which unit lost the live ammunition and what measures were taken after the loss.

The key is when the Air Defense Control Command found out that Sergeant A had left his unit armed and left his unit.
A colleague of the unit simply reported the disappearance to the police on the day of the incident, but if the unit did not know about the disarmament, it is a total poor management of firearms and live ammunition.
An official from the unit explained, "We will also investigate whether there have been reports of disarmament, etc."
