An Afghan employee of the US Embassy in Afghanistan who opened fire at a CIA annex there worked as part of a local guard force, a US official said on September 26.
Embassy spokesman Gavin Sundwall said the lone gunman killed a US citizen and wounded another in the shootings on September 25. The wounded American was evacuated to a military hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening.
The FBI is investigating the attack, along with other US agencies and local authorities, a US official said.
Another official said the FBI is the lead agency in the investigation. CIA and diplomatic security officials also are involved.
All Afghan employees go through a background security check and must pass through a metal detector each time they enter the Embassy.
The CIA building is several hundred yards from the Embassy compound and has its own entrance and security.
