I just talked to one of the MPs at the gate he ran.

Sandy hair, 5’10, kaiki shorts and striped shirt, he drove up for entry, did not have proper ID and was told to pull through and turn around, which is standard for this Fort.

Instead of turning around, he drove on into the Fort without stopping. The main gate is about 8 kiosks and very wide and does not have a pop-up barrier system of the new caliber. He drove through the Fort north area and (I assume) out the east gate winding through the woods, which is the back road to Rolla the college town 20 minutes away.

There are some reports that he fired his rifle during that part of the pursuit.

He was seen entering a building on campus with the rifle and the campus, with students now out for the year, went into lockdown. The local hospitals, schools etcetera also went into lockdown.

Fort Leonard Wood, which is one of the major bases for MP training and CID training has been in the process of having SWAT joint training with the MO State Highway Patrol this week. On the fort when this occured were 300 mid level and higher field officers with the State Troopers and all the SWAT teams — talk about hitting a hornets nest.

Helicopters, the whole nine yards. This guy is lucky to be taken alive because heavy security drills due to OBL were held this week on post as well.

Trying a forced entry to a MP traing Fort the week of OBL and then running to a university campus is hardly the way to gain friends.

Ah, thank you for the 'better' picture. I heard something going on at the Fort on the radio a couple plus hours back. But phone calls required me to turn down the radio and I got busy and forgot to see what the action was that made it to the local KCMO radio station.

I am familiar with this neck of the woods. I have been on post many times and one of my children is a graduate of what use to be UMR. Obviously the AP person writing up the story has no clue the terrain and what it means to drive either the back roads or I-44 to get to Rolla. And Rolla is basically UMR or whatever it is they are calling it these days.

And I would totally agree this turkey is very lucky to still be breathing. No way he was up to any good.

My kids did basic and AIT there. Our soldiers are sitting ducks. Give them free will, this wouldn’t happen. PC has run amuck. F the PC Crowd, it’s time to take back our country.

The libs can move to Europe or the Mid east. F them.

We’re sitting on a powder keg. It’s going to explode sooner than expected. And America will win. We’ll chase the commies out of this country. We are all ready to rid the vermin. Bring it on!
