The military is investigating the death of an Army Ranger who was injured during a training exercise in southeast Georgia.
The Army said in a news release Friday that 21-year-old Cpl. Andrew Aimesbury was training with his squad at Fort Stewart when he was "seriously wounded during a live-fire exercise." He died after being rushed to a hospital.
Tracy Bailey, a spokeswoman for the Army's 75th Ranger Regiment, declined to provide more details on how Aimesbury was injured in the incident Wednesday, citing an open investigation by the Army.
