An arrest has been made in connection with the July 20 shooting death of Airman Brayden Lovan at F.E. Warren Air Force Base in Wyoming. The incident has fueled an ongoing investigation into the Sig Sauer M18 handgun and raised fresh concerns about military firearm safety.

CHEYENNE, WY (2-minute read) — An arrest has been made in the investigation into the death of Airman Brayden Lovan, a 21-year-old Security Forces member who was fatally shot while on duty at F.E. Warren Air Force Base on July 20. The incident occurred during a firearm discharge involving the military-issued Sig Sauer M18 handgun, a model now under intense scrutiny across the Air Force.

Following the tragedy, Air Force Global Strike Command immediately ordered a pause in the use of all M18 pistols under its command. This was quickly followed by a service-wide inspection of the handgun. The M18, the military’s compact variant of the Sig Sauer P320, has faced years of controversy, with lawsuits and reports alleging accidental discharges.

In a statement released Friday, an Air Force spokesperson confirmed that an unnamed individual has been arrested on suspicion of involuntary manslaughter, obstruction of justice, and making a false official statement. Officials stressed that the suspect remains innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law.

While details surrounding the circumstances of Lovan’s death remain closely guarded, the arrest marks a significant step forward in the investigation. The Air Force has yet to release a charge sheet or confirm if the shooting was accidental or the result of negligence.

Military Firearm Safety Under the Microscope

The M18 is standard issue for many Air Force Security Forces members and has been praised for its modular design. However, ongoing reports of unintended discharges, even when holstered, have led some experts to question its safety record. The current pause and inspection could lead to changes in training, handling protocols, or even consideration of alternative sidearms.

The investigation at F.E. Warren is still ongoing, and the Air Force’s review of the M18 continues service-wide.

Safety Tip: Always treat every firearm as if it is loaded, and keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to fire—whether in training, on duty, or at home.
