1 Dead in Shooting at Luke Air Force Base
Tuesday, February 23, 2010

Print ShareThisA shooting and fatal car crash on Luke Air Force Base in Litchfield, Ariz., have left one person dead and another injured, KSAZ reported.

A security forces officer reportedly tried to talk to two men inside a car, previously reported stolen and then driven through a gate at the base, said Officer Karen Gerardo, the public information officer at the Glendale Police Department.

When the officer got out of his car to try to make contact with the two men, the car drove directly at him. The officer shot at the car, which then crashed, said Gerardo.

One of the occupants of the vehicle was killed. His cause of death has not been determined.

The other person in the car was injured and transported to a hospital.

Investigators do not suspect terrorism, said Gerardo.

So, this looks like a garden-variety dumb car-thief problem. OK. I’m good with that.

PS. If you’re going to steal a car, don’t drive it onto a military base...

I’m glad it wasn’t the security policeman (SP) who was killed.
