宾夕法尼亚州 Carlisle 男子训练中误杀陆军士兵认过失杀人罪，最高面临8年监禁
位于美国宾夕法尼亚州富兰克林县 Chambersburg 的 Letterkenny 陆军仓库发生训练致死案，来自宾夕法尼亚州 Cumberland 县 Carlisle 市的38岁男子 Sean Stark，2026年11月12日在联邦法院就士兵 Krystofer Lopez 之死认下过失杀人罪。判决程序由联邦地区法官 Joseph F. Saporito Jr. 主持，认罪由宾州中区联邦检察官办公室公布。
据联邦检察官 Brian D. Miller 说明，Stark 当时是 Letterkenny 陆军仓库的陆军部警察，Lopez 是一等兵，被派到仓库担任大门警卫。2026年3月12日，Stark 在警察营房的一间教室里为 Lopez 做射击资格测试前的指导，之后两人原定前往靶场，用手枪、步枪和霰弹枪完成资格测试。
指导过程中，Stark 曾走出教室，给自己的执勤手枪装上子弹，返回室内时没有按要求清膛。随后他演示拔枪、瞄准和射击动作，枪口正对着 Lopez，手枪走火，子弹击中 Lopez 胸部，Lopez 当场身亡。
Lopez 死后被追晋为 Specialist。联邦检察官 Miller 表示，检方的心与受害者家人和亲友同在，希望这次认罪能给他们带去一些安慰，同时让责任得到追究。
本案由美国陆军刑事调查局调查，助理联邦检察官 Scott Ford 与 Alisan Martin 负责起诉。按联邦法律，过失杀人罪最高可判8年监禁，其后还可附加监管释放期和罚金，具体刑期将由法官在考虑联邦量刑法律和量刑指南后决定。
Pennsylvania Man Pleads Guilty to Involuntary Manslaughter in Death of Army Specialist at Letterkenny Depot
Sean Stark, 38, of Carlisle, a city in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, pleaded guilty on November 12, 2026, in federal court to involuntary manslaughter in the death of soldier Krystofer Lopez at Letterkenny Army Depot in Chambersburg, Franklin County, Pennsylvania. U.S. District Judge Joseph F. Saporito Jr. presided, and the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania announced the plea.
According to U.S. Attorney Brian D. Miller, Stark was a Department of the Army Police Officer at Letterkenny Army Depot, and Lopez was a Private First Class assigned to serve as a gate guard at the depot. On March 12, 2026, Stark was providing Lopez pre-marksmanship instruction in a classroom inside the police barracks before they were to depart for the range, where Lopez would qualify with a handgun, rifle and shotgun.
During the instruction, Stark went outside and loaded his duty handgun and failed to clear his weapon upon returning inside. He then conducted a drill demonstrating how to unholster his weapon, aim and fire while the firearm was pointed at Lopez. The weapon discharged, striking Lopez in the chest and killing him.
Lopez was posthumously promoted to the rank of Specialist. U.S. Attorney Miller said the office's thoughts and prayers remain with the victim's family and loved ones, and that the plea offers some measure of comfort while ensuring accountability.
The U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Division investigated the case, and Assistant U.S. Attorneys Scott Ford and Alisan Martin are prosecuting it. The maximum penalty under federal law is 8 years of imprisonment, followed by supervised release and a fine, with the sentence to be imposed by the judge after consideration of the federal sentencing statutes and guidelines.
