Joint Base Andrews have lifted a six-hour lockdown after two armed intruders plowed straight through a security checkpoint at near Washington, D.C., on Sunday, with one arrested and another at large, authorities have said.
An update from the military facility revealed that the main gates have been opened after a full-sweep declared that the second intruder had left the base and is now on the run.
A release from Joint Base Andrews said that the 17-year-old who has been arrested remains in custody after being found in possession of a firearm.
The incident appeared to be one of the most recent serious breaches of security in memory at Andrews, which is only a few miles outside Washington, D.C., in Prince George’s County, Maryland.
About an hour before the breach occurred, Vice President Kamala Harris together with four Cabinet secretaries had been on the base as they travelled back from Selma, Alabama, where they had participated in commemorative events for 'Bloody Sunday.'
The group landed in Maryland at about 9pm and left the shortly afterward, the White House explained.
Harris departed via the Marine Two helicopter back to Washington D.C. before the report of a security breach had been made public.
The four secretaries were Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Housing Secretary Marcia Fudge, Education Secretary Miguel Cardona and Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Michael Regan.
Col. Tyler Schaff, 316th Wing and Joint Base Andrews installation commander said: 'I am incredibly proud of the quick actions of our Defenders to immediately deploy the barriers to stop last night's stolen vehicle and then apprehend one of the individuals that had a weapon

Well played.
Not my VP..
don’t care.
The mention of Harris was a useless unrelated part of the story. It was a stolen vehicle. The implication of the headline leaves an impression that the the armed running of the checkpoint might be related. It was 2 car thieves in a stolen car.
She gets around. I hope the Poles told her, “No ammo. You need a ride.”
I bet it was them Amish kids again.
Tell me it’s a false flag without telling me it’s a false flag.
Good opportunity for the press to photoshop MAGA hats on the thieves.
"I bet it was them Amish kids again."
I'm betting it's a Dim PR stunt to make Kamala into a victim of a fake hate crime.
Now Heels Up can talk about that day in Marine Two when she took incoming fire…
Does not make sense. Why would car thieves roll into JB Andrews, on of the most secure areas in DC? They could easily have been shot dead.
Maybe they heard that the Andrews AFB commissary was an easy place to shoplift at?
Chances are the 17 year old doesn’t even know who the VP is.
The area outside Andrews is crime infested so it was likely just another attempted burglary that went awry.
Most likely.
Ok...thanks for the info.
People who are in stolen vehicles, drunk, high, or whatever occasionally make a wrong turn, pull up into the entrance way at these facilities and then realize that they have to go to the gate. Once at the gate they freak out.
Normal procedure is just to tell the security you made a wrong turn and they will motion you to the exit.
A good percentage of the vehicle occupants in that area can be assumed to be armed.
I’ve done that! Looking for the abortion mill to pray and counsel at, tried turning around and bam, I’m looking at a soldier at a guard house. “Trying to find the abortion clinic” was probably a new one on him!!!
How can that be true? I read that they have strict Gun Control Laws there. You are not insinuating that people deliberate violate the Law , are you?
17 years old so they media can keep his personal info secret under the excuse that “he’s a minor”. Convenient.
