ALAMOGORDO, New Mexico -- Officials at Holloman Air Force Base say one person was killed and another injured in a training accident on a military range in southern New Mexico.

"Base officials say in a statement that the Tuesday night accident involved members of a ground-control party struck as two F-16 Fighting Falcon jets used unspecified air-to-ground munitions at the Red Rio Range, located within the White Sands Missile Range complex near Holloman.

The incident occurred at approximately 7:30 p.m. local time, according to the statement. Both affected ground personnel were medically evacuated to Gerald Champion Regional Medical Center, where one was pronounced dead at approximately 9 p.m. The other was released after being treated."
