Warren Air Force Base pointed a Sig Sauer M18 pistol at his chest in a joking manner and had his finger on the trigger, the 90th Missile Wing’s public affairs office related Friday from court testimony.

The shooter, Marcus White-Allen, was found dead on the base nearly three months after the initial fatality, Oct. 8, the statement says, adding that the investigation into his death remains open.
