FORT HOOD (July 20, 2009)--Fort Hood Spc. Armando Ray Baca remained in custody Monday evening after a weekend shooting at a Fort Hood housing area that claimed the life of Spc. Ryan Richard Schlack, 30, of Oshkosh, Wis.

Both Baca and Schlack were assigned to the 1st Cavalry Division’s B Company, 27th Brigade Support Battalion, 4th Brigade Combat Team and both returned to post in May after deploying to Iraq in June 2008.

A Fort Hood deputy public affairs officer said Schlack was struck in the hip when shots were fired into a crowd early Saturday at a home in McNair Village.

He was taken to Darnall Army Medical Center where he later died, the spokesman said.

Baca was arrested at 10:15 a.m. Saturday at Fort Hood’s Main Gate, the spokesman said.

Schlack joined the Army in May 2004 and arrived at Fort Hood in February 2005.

almost every comment on here is from ignorant _____. read deeper. this isn't Hassan. and yea, for those of you who had the audacity to put negative things about SPC. Baca... where were you to stand up and make a change, exactly. you're willing to throw stones, but not without making sure you will not get one in return. disgusting excuses for human life. RIP Ryan.
