Fatal shooting outside MacDill AFB in Tampa

By TAMARA LUSH (AP) – 14 hours ago

TAMPA, Fla. — A man who sped away from base security on a motorcycle after an altercation at MacDill Air Force Base was shot and killed Wednesday evening, the military said.

U.S. Air Force spokesman Maj. Richard Johnson said the shooting is being investigated but it doesn’t appear to be an act of terrorism.

Army Veteran Guest Shot at MacDill Air Force Base by FBI

Posted by Aldian Degamo on May 20th, 2010

At MacDill Air Force base gate a man was shot and killed, The man charged at an FBI agent with a knife before the agent opened fire, probably has some issues on the FBI agent to make the FBI his target. But before the man could reach the FBI he was shot dead on the ground it happened around 6:45 p.m.

Army Veteran Guest Shot at MacDill Air Force Base by FBI

The man approached the Dale Mabry gate, got off the motorcycle and charged at the FBI agent with a knife and this is when the FBI open fired, pure self defense. The FBI spokesman said the man got off the motorcycle at the Dale Mabry gate, and came at the agent with a knife. The man that was shot down was an Army veteran that was visiting the base as a guest, no other information regarding the man was released as of now. FBI now heading the investigation of the case, assisting the investigation is the Tampa Police Department. What confuses me is that if the man was a guest, and an Army veteran how come he charged at an FBI Agent with a knife. Stay tune for more updates.

This smells. I'll tell you why and I may be a little bit off base which is why I pinged the folks I have pinged.

Unless the agent already had his gun in hand and was at least semi expecting the attack, OR unless the attacker started his move from more than 21 feet away the Tueller Drill says it's not possible for this to have happened the way described under normal circumstances. Under the Tueller scenario, the attacker moving from 21 feet away can cover the distance in a second and a half and stab his victim before the defender can draw and engage and even then, he should be forced to move out of the path of the attack while still engaging. So to my mind, this stinks of setup. BUT, maybe I'm reading too much into all of this which is why I pinged the Pros from Dover if you remember your M*A*S*H trivia. What say you folks? I also think this is lent an air of conspiracy based on the activities at MacDill: CENTCOM HQ & SOCOM HQ put this on a level above nearly every other Army or USAF installation in CONUS.
