Former Soldier Charged In Ft. Bliss Shooting

FOR BLISS, Texas —

Authorities said a former Fort Bliss soldier is facing charges after a weekend drive-by shooting that damaged two cars in a military-run neighborhood just outside the gates of the Army post.

FBI spokeswoman Andrea Simmons said Monday 20-year-old Christopher Stafford Peaden of El Paso was arrested Saturday after allegedly firing multiple rounds at a residence located on the 3500 block of Salgado and hitting two cars.

No one was injured.

Simmons said the shooting was prompted by a dispute between Peaden and residents of the house. Peaden was discharged from the Army about a month ago.

Peaden is being held without bond at the El Paso County Jail. He is facing federal charges related to deadly conduct.

Federal officials said they don't know if Peaden has an attorney.
