Fort Bragg soldier faces multiple criminal charges

1st Sgt. Joshua P. Eisenhauer, the soldier involved in the four hour stand-off and shooting incident that began Friday night and carried into early Saturday morning, faces numerous charges including attempted murder.

Eisenhauer is assigned to Fort Bragg's Warrior Transition Battalion which is known for assisting soldiers dealing with either physical or mental duress, often linked to their war time experiences. 

The soldier has been charged with 15 counts of attempted first-degree murder, six counts of felony assault on a law enforcement official with a firearm, and nine counts of felony assault on a government official with a firearm.

Eisenhauer's father, Mark Eisenhauer, said he "doesn't understand" what could have happened in a WRAL news report.

"I thank God that Joshua didn't hurt anyone," Mark Eisenhauer said. "Joshua is a soldier trained by the best Army in the world. Had he intended on hurting anyone, why is he the only one with multiple bullet holes in him?"

Eisenhauer remains in critical but stable condition at a UNC Hospital in Chapel Hill.
