Being questioned by officials at Ft Leonard Wood —according to AP, it means the guard examined his ID and found it lacking.
Willcoxon left the area, according to AP, after he accelerated through the gate and drove onto the base where he was pursued by military police until he drove off the base. This is apparently where the local law enforcement took over and were shot at.
OK, I can sorta see how it can happen that this guy got away from the gate guard....
So he was in his car, and the gate guard no doubt had a holstered pistol. Car drives off, and by the time the gate gaurd can pull his gun, he no longer has a clean shot.
What I don't understand, though, is how the guy got back off the base. Don't they have barriers to prevent exactly that sort of thing?
I think the security arrangements at Ft. Leonard Wood are about to receive some very uncomfortable scrutiny...
