FORT KNOX, Ky. (AP) – A U.S. Army sergeant has pleaded guilty in the shooting death of a civilian employee last year at Fort Knox.
The News-Enterprise (

Investigators say Jacobs approached Gibert in the parking lot near the Human Resources Command building where Gibert worked.
The newspaper reports that the judge sentenced him to 30 years in prison, a dishonorable discharge, and a demotion in rank.
