Base Public Affairs / Published October 05, 2019
The male driver of a vehicle and two male passengers were killed after striking a vehicle barrier at the Robins Russell Parkway gate here late Friday night.
The incident happened at approximately 9:30 p.m. when a vehicle approached the gate and the driver failed to stop as ordered by the security forces gate sentry. When the vehicle accelerated through the gate, Security Forces activated a barrier which the vehicle impacted at a high rate of speed.
Two men were pronounced dead at the scene. The other male passenger was transported to Houston Medical Center where he later died.
The identities of the deceased are being withheld pending notification of families. They are not affiliated with Robins Air Force Base. An investigation is ongoing.
“This is a tragedy which we all feel deeply at Robins Air Force Base. We will thoroughly investigate to determine the facts and circumstances and what can be learned from this tragedy”, said Col. Katrina Stephens, vice commander, 78th Air Base Wing. “Our thoughts are with the families of those lost.”
The Russell Parkway Gate which was closed for the investigation, will reopen Oct. 5, 2019, at noon
With that statement, it sounds like it was a vehicle with some of their own military folks in it.
Does Brennan have a sad?

it prevented a tragedy.
“This is a tragedy which we all feel deeply at Robins Air Force Base.

This is the kind of tripe that can be expected when the vice commander is some skank named Katrina.
Ah no, this is NOT “a tragedy.” This is many things but a “tragedy” is not and as to “we all feel very deeply,” madam, I would inquire exactly why are any of you “feeling very deeply?”
Suspicious, as to the exact intent of those unnamed men and perhaps guilty even and ashamed that a guard at the gate of your military complexes is unarmed, or if not armed, did not offer up a few rounds at a driver who refuses to halt, when ordered to, then speeds up!
Sissyfing our military will cost us yet!
This isn’t a college campus, a gated golf community of retirees, it’s a military post, dammit!
““This is a tragedy which we all feel deeply at Robins Air Force Base.”
All? As a former 81150 I have my doubts.
…...We will thoroughly investigate to determine the facts and circumstances and what can be learned from this tragedy”, said Col. Katrina Stephens, vice commander, 78th Air Base Wing. “Our thoughts are with the families of those lost.”

Colonel Katy! 3 criminals just attacked your base and your “thoughts are with THEIR families”?????!!!!!. How about “your thoughts” being with the Air Force “families” your security forces protected??
What, you kidding me..? Three rats bite the dust and we're suppose to feel bad about it..??
When you come to a military gate and the man with a gun tells you to stop and you don't stop, well this planet is obviously much better off with you not on it....
