A U.S. Army sergeant has pleaded guilty in the shooting death of a civilian employee last year at Fort Knox.
The News-Enterprise (http://bit.ly/1eKlBCo) reports that Sgt. Marquinta Jacobs of Radcliff entered the plea Thursday as his court martial began to charges of premeditated murder and aggravated assault in the death of 51-year-old Lloyd R. Gibert of Elizabethtown.
Investigators say Jacobs approached Gibert in the parking lot near the Human Resources Command building where Gibert worked.
