ELOY — A soldier was killed Tuesday in a routine freefall parachute training exercise in southern Arizona, an Army spokesman said Wednesday.
No additional information would be released pending an investigation, said Lt. Col. Loren Bymer at the Army Special Operations Command at Fort Bragg, North Carolina.
Freefalling is when parachutists jump from an aircraft and delay opening their parachutes.
Eloy is about 50 miles northwest of Tucson.
