RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) - Officials at Ellsworth Air Force Base
say an airman found dead over the weekend died of a self-inflicted
gunshot wound. They're still investigating whether it was
intentional or accidental.
Base officials say 43-year-old Chief Master Sgt. Robert Hoyt
died late Saturday morning. The native of Vero Beach, Fla., was
superintendent of the 28th Security Forces Squadron. He joined the
Air Force in 1987 and had been stationed at the South Dakota base
since last May.
