U.S. Navy Chief Petty Officer Bree Kuhn will not face any additional military discipline action after she was found guilty last week of murder.
Kuhn, who was stationed onboard NAS Pensacola, was found guilty of first-degree premeditated murder Friday for locking her husband, Collin Turner , in the family garage and then shooting him four times in the back while he was on a recorded phone call with 911.
In an emailed response to the News Journal’s questions, an NAS Pensacola spokesperson said, “Chief Bree Kuhn is in the process of being separated from the U.S. Navy and will no longer be subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice. As such, she will not undergo military disciplinary action.”
NAS Pensacola says Kuhn received a general discharge, also known as an “under honorable conditions” discharge.
According to the U.S. Department of Labor, a general discharge “is appropriate when the service member’s service has been honest and faithful, and when the positive aspects of their conduct or performance of duty outweigh the negative aspects of such conduct or performance.”
