A man was shot in the leg Sunday night on Quantico Marine Corps base after an apparent argument, and the alleged shooter is in federal custody.
The shooting happed about 5:35 p.m. in the base housing section, said base spokesman Capt. Patrick Boyce.
“The victim was taken to Mary Washington Hospital in Fredericksburg, where he received stitches for his wound,” said Boyce.
The victim was later released from the hospital, he added.
Boyce did not identify the alleged shooter, but said he is being held at a federal detention center in Alexandria.
Neither man is a Marine, said Boyce.
The Naval Criminal Investigative Service is investigating why the two men were on the base, and into what led to the shooting, said Boyce.
