The 101st has not yet named the soldier, but it says he is in custody of the Army Criminal Investigative Division at Fort Campbell.
The APSU Center at Fort Campbell was not directly impacted by the situation, according to Clarksville Online.
Authorities said the incident took place Thursday morning; however, they added it had ended and the post was secure.
When military police responded to the scene, the soldier, whose name has not been released as of Thursday evening, fled the hangar in his auto. In the pursuit the soldier hit another vehicle but continued to his on-post residence where he was subdued. The Army says additional weapons and ammunition were found inside his auto. The gates remain open. Gen. Scott E. Brower, 101st Airborne Division, said in a release. An investigation is ongoing.
