U.S. Coast Guard personnel opened fire Thursday night on a U-Haul truck after its driver ignored commands to stop at the entrance of a California base, the agency said.
Dramatic video shows the box truck with its headlights on reversing toward security personnel stationed around a vehicle outside Coast Guard Base Alameda at around 10 p.m.
Moments later, flashes of gunfire erupted as officers shouted orders from a barricade. The U-Haul driver then hit the gas and accelerated forward.
The Coast Guard said security personnel standing watch on Coast Guard Island had witnessed the U-Haul truck "driving erratically and attempting to back into the base."

"Two men arrived at local hospitals for gunshot wounds after the shooting, according to The Mercury News. One of them is believed to be the driver of the U-Haul, the outlet said, citing sources."

Guards need more range time...............
The Democrat Left is extremely violent and lawless.
I would bet on drug cartels seeking revenge on the Coasties for hitting drug boats (never mind that was probably Navy/AF/CIA).
The dumbass with the video camera in front of the U-Haul is lucky he didn’t get his head blown off.
Lot of engine protecting a driver in a box truck.
Plus, I’m presuming he’s a Mexican so his head probably only cleared the dash by 3-4 inches.
As I understand it, this base is supposed to be the staging area for the national guard
if President Trump sends them in.
I assume that’s why these cretins are giving it so much attention.
Makes sense, too.
Surprising (or not) that nothing was said about explosives found in the truck (or precursors)...
Don’t know the details but aimed live fire at a demonstration is a small reminder to all the protesters that their protests are not just pure theater and that the law men are just part of it in different costumes with a different role to play, there are legal limits that can mean they get shot and killed.
I wonder how the returned vehicle inspection at the UHaul store went.
Key info buried in the story:
“The incident followed a protest outside the entrance on Thursday, during which demonstrators attempted to block U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents from entering the base, according to WABC-TV.”
The ICE demonstrators need to gather outside the Biden houses and outside Mayorkas’ house for causing the trouble by leaving the Border open for so long.
A decent Sweep and it’s All Good.
Did you view a video? All I get is a sanctions video when I click on the source video link.
My question is why wasn’t this vehicle surrounded immediately after he pulled forward and stopped?
And there going to lose their damage deposit on the truck, I think
No issues. The video ran as expected for me
LOL! “Try our new Air-Cooled box trucks!”
“Where moving is an adventure”
