You'd think this might be bigger news, with reporters scruffing around for more information about it, pressuring public officials:
According to the Associated Press, which has the most complete account:
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.
They didn't say if anyone got hit on the perpetrator side, if the vehicle tried to ram its way inside, or most importantly, if anyone got arrested after the vehicle fled.
Someone shot at the base entry, whose gate may have been manned by young recruits -- I know my young niece who's in the Air Force spent her Thanksgiving one year doing this -- drove off, and then came back to do it again, and although there was a decent response to the attack, they nevertheless got away.

Very strange that there is so little information released.
Reporters are cowards. I won't call them 'journalists'. If there's shooting, they won't be anywhere near the 'action'...............
It’s just the cartels letting us know they are expanding their territory.
The MSM won’t report it because it looks bad for the Dems, especially The Kackler..................
Just part of the Kingston Queen and her “white dude’s” unification program.
A “soft probe” to see what the response would be.
It will be worse and more often after Trump is President.
All on purpose.
U.S. military bases need a Drone and all Military police have to do is say “FOLLOW” ,LOL
Geraldo, in his prime was not a coward. He was in Beirut when the mortar shells were falling.
He is an actual Journalist, not a reporter.............
I will suggest the perpetrators are drunk ner-do-wells rejected by air force recruiters.
This did actually get mentioned on the radio at the top of the hour in the DFW market Sunday morning.
Reconnaissance by fire?
More likely that one of the Security Forces was screwing around with a baby mama of one of the local cholos transplanted from South America.
At the show spectators were allowed onto the base and onto a huge paved area which,presumably,is where various planes move around. While walking I saw a white line and the words "Entry beyond this point prohibited. Lethal force authorized". I'll never forget it.
I would agree....just a cartel demonstration. I’d prepare for this being a monthly thing.
“We are asking citizens to be on the lookout for a car, possibly filled with White Nationalists”
A real military would have returned fire with a bazooka or whatever the modern version of a bazooka is.
Weird how millions of illegals arrive and all of a sudden our military bases are coming under fire. The left should be sued for not just allowing such radical criminals in, but financing them as well enab.ing tnem the abitily to attack our nation. who in their right mind is going to .et illegals with very violent records just Walz over th3 border into the country, endangering hard working American civi,Ian’s and military? That is pure evil!
Simple response that will end these attacks, stop returning fire with bullets and switch to a LAW, that’ll put a crimp in the little terrorists day.
I think you are on to something there. Only an idiot would drive by twice, probably fueled by Annie Greensprings apple wine.
