Another intruder has breached one of the nation's most sensitive military bases — the home of Air Force One — and this time a resident opened fire on the trespasser.
— Another intruder has breached one of the nation's most sensitive military bases — the home of Air Force One — and this time a resident opened fire on the trespasser, Joint Base Andrews said in a statement late Monday.
During the incident, which occurred at about 11:30 a.m. Monday,"a man gained unauthorized access to a JBA housing area," Joint Base Andrews said in the statement posted to Twitter."A resident discharged a firearm, security forces arrived on scene to apprehend the intruder and law enforcement is investigating the incident."
At around 11:30 a.m. today, Feb. 6, a man gained unauthorized access to a JBA housing area. A resident discharged a firearm, security forces arrived on scene to apprehend the intruder, & law enforcement is investigating the incident. No injuries nor property damage reported.
The Air Force said late Monday it didn't have anything to add beyond the Andrews statement about Monday's intrusion.Last March, an armed 17-year-old male was arrested after he and another person drove through a security checkpoint at the installation's main gate, prompting a lockdown at the base. The second person managed to flee, the base said.
An inspector general's investigation found three main security failings, starting with"human error" by a gate security guard who allowed the man to drive onto the base even though he had no credentials that authorized his access. Hours later, the man walked undetected onto the flight line by slipping through a fence designed to restrict entry.
