At our base, the commander said to carry your firearms to base.. keep them in your car of course at work. said he didnt want people waiting at gate to be unarmed if shooting happened. Before, policy was No firearms, unless going to range....
This brings to mind Fort Hood and the Navy Yard shootings. Military bases and no guns. I worked on a test base where personnel, military and civilian, where pilots and mechanics and engineers were trusted with multi million dollar equipment that could crash with a piece of FOD or on purpose with a crazy pilot, but these people couldn't be trusted with a firearm. Never made sense to me. We were sitting ducks, just like random shoppers at Walmart.
I was told it was clinton who banned sidearms. Ridiculous.
U.S. Air Force security guards exchanged gunfire with someone who twice opened fire on an entrance to Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland early Saturday, according to a spokesperson for the base.
“It was an off-base shooting from a passing vehicle that fired shots towards the gate, prompting our security forces to respond,” base spokesperson Stefanie Antosh said in a statement. “There is no threat to the installation. We had no injuries, no fatalities.”
Antosh said the shooting was being investigated by San Antonio police, who said in a release that the first shooting occurred about 2:15 a.m.
“The security personnel stated they heard several shots fired as well as the fired rounds go past them,” Sgt. Washington Moscoso said in the release. “After this incident, the security personnel added more armed guards as a precaution.”
A vehicle later stopped near the same entrance shortly after 4:30 a.m., Moscoso said.
“For a second time, shots were fired at the Air Force security personnel, however, with the additional security personnel present, multiple Air Force personnel returned fire toward the suspect vehicle,” Moscoso said.
The vehicle then fled. No injuries were reported and the shootings remained under investigation, Moscoso said.
It was not known how many rounds were fired, how many shooters there were, or what their motive was, according to Antosh.
The entrance was closed for several hours after the shooting before reopening about 9:30 a.m., but the base was not locked down, according to Antosh.
In addition to Lackland, Joint Base San Antonio includes Randolph Air Force Base and the Army's Fort Sam Houston and the Camp Bulllis training camp.
Lackland is home to more than 24,000 active duty members and 10,000 Department of Defense civilians, according to the base website. It includes the 37th Training Wing; 149th Fighter Wing; 59th Medical Wing; the Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Agency; 24th Air Force Wing, 67th Network Warfare Wing; the Cryptologic Systems Group; the National Security Agency; and 70 associated units.
Déjà vu from Ron. he posted something like this a while back, but it was for another same type of event. I originally thought it was an older story, but then I looked through everything and I thought hmmm 🤔
Dunno how to post a link, dunno if credible….military.com says it was “someone” who twice opened fire on an entrance…..AND SA Tx police are investigating?
The local police will investigate on things that happen outside the gates - until the feds take over. The AFOSI may assist, but the shooting came from the outside and as long as it wasn't members of the base doing the shooting (or getting shot) it isn't their case. The OSI does have a little more leeway since they are in fact federal agents, but the FBI will likely get the case eventually.
Whoda thunk it! I guess some Antifa affiliated group. Do you know what the motive was? Got any sauce on that source? All I can find is shots fired and the car drove away.
Myself and 4 other basic trainees crawled through a drain pipe to gain access to the barracks on base Lackland. Dang good thing we didn’t get caught. Just saying…😂
The base entry probably has a sloped roof. Everyone involved thought it was too dangerous, so the attack was suspended.
Only if SS guys were guarding the gate I hope reg enlisted guy would be hungry for some action
My dad was stationed there once upon a time. If he was on the gate, they would have been so f**ked. He didn’t miss.
YEP...AND those Gate Guards (of which I was ONE) are accurate with those M4s AT close quarters...Just sayin'!!!
Cheers to your dad!

I have never understood the disallowance of firearms to trained military on base.
They can be trusted to go to war alongside each other, but not to remain armed on base?
Sounds like 3 letter head's dream to allow infiltration.
I never would even theorize like this if I had not learned about information siloing (ie Angencies not sharing data).
This is simply speculation, though it seems plausible.
I saw a headline in passing yesterday - I should've read the article.

Now it makes me wonder if there was intel about a possible impending attack.
Who is dumb enough to attack a military base lol
Someone with 3-letter agency backing
Like robbing a cop bar
That has actually happened. KEK🤣😹
Criminal gangs, er, ah, armies that crossed into the US from the borders.
None of them are armed anymore. Nothing stopping you.
How can they say they don't know who these people were, but also say they don't think they have a military affiliation?
I mean, I know why the MSM isn’t covering it. But I’m surprised that more resources aren’t digging into what happened
Yeah because the border czar would be front and center to explain open borders bs...
Probably a test run to see how our bases react at the gates. Be prepared to see more of them.
A preview of what’s to come. Stay frosty frens.

If the news isn't talking about it, it's probably not good for the Deep state.
Nice perspective! I like that.

Illegals preparing...
Interesting. Lackland AFB is where Air Force basic training is conducted.
Myself and 4 other basic trainees crawled through a drain pipe to gain access to the barracks on base Lackland. Dang good thing we didn’t get caught. Just saying…😂
I believe we're really past the normies dumb fucks question this can't be real it would be on the news;
DUM SO TO THE COMMENTS!
I wonder if those AF guards had select fire on their rifles.
