Air Force Guards Fired Shots at Intruder Who Drove Car Through Gate at Texas Base

Air Force security personnel fired several shots in self-defense on Saturday afternoon when a driver breached the main entry point to Joint Base San Antonio-Camp Bullis in Texas, according to the base.

The driver, who had not yet been identified on Tuesday, drove toward the guards “at a high rate of speed in the wrong direction of traffic,” said Robert Strain, a Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston spokesman.

The driver broke through the access control point and was on the installation for several minutes before turning around and speeding through the gate to exit.

The suspect did not reach any training areas located at the base, according to officials, and no injuries to Air Force personnel or property were reported.
