Paramedics were on scene within 5 minutes of the shooting and called for helicopter evacuation to a trauma center in San Antonio, the documents added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But it was too late, according to the documents, and the soldier was pronounced dead at the scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Texas Military Department <a href=\"https:\/\/tmd.texas.gov\/texas-national-guard-announce-the-death-of-soldier\" target=\"_blank\">announced<\/a> Monday afternoon that a soldier died in \u201cnon-mission-related incident today,\u201d but did not detail how the soldier\u2019s death occurred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are deeply saddened by this loss,\u201d said Maj. Gen. Tracy Norris, the state\u2019s top general. \u201cWe are focused on supporting the Soldier\u2019s family and are providing all available resources.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In another statement, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott\u2019s office said Texas Rangers are investigating the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur hearts are heavy at the news of the tragic death of a Texas Guardsman stationed at the border as part of Operation Lone Star,\u201d Abbott said in the release. \u201cThe Texas Rangers will conduct a thorough investigation into this tragedy and the Texas Military Department is taking action to ensure such loss of life never happens again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Currently, troops assigned to Operation Lone Star are in possession of their personal firearms due to Texas\u2019 strong firearms rights. All six of the deaths associated with the mission have been attributed to personal weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There have been at least two other incidents where troops on the mission have negligently discharged their personal weapons, according to the documents, though neither shooting resulted in injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A source familiar with operational planning told Army Times that the headquarters overseeing the mission \u201cis working on a policy about personal weapons,\u201d though it\u2019s not clear what restrictions would be put in place and when.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>He&#8217;s the sixth soldier linked to the mission to die since
