Actually he was caught on the Missouri S&T campus after running thru McNutt Hall from what I’m seeing.

I was wrong about which gate. came in west side and out the main gate according to this:

(CBS/KMOV) ROLLA, Mo. - Cody Wilcoxson, the man accused of trying to get onto a military base, firing shots at police and then carrying a weapon onto the Missouri University of Science and Technology campus, was apprehended Thursday afternoon.

Officials say Wilcoxson’s crime spree began around 8:30 a.m. Thursday when he tried to get onto Fort Leonard Wood, located about 130 miles from St. Louis. Officials say he wasn’t allowed onto the base, because he didn’t have proper identification. He was ordered to leave Fort Leonard Wood but instead continued driving through the west gate toward the main gate. Officials say military police followed him and he exited Fort Leonard Wood after less than five minutes on base.

Military police contacted St. Robert police and they took over the pursuit and followed Wilcoxson onto Interstate 44. St. Robert Chief Curtis Curenton tells CBS affiliate KMOV that the suspect fired at least a dozen rounds at police from an AK-47. Chief Curenton says his vehicle was hit twice. No one was injured.

Police say Wilcoxson later fired shots near the Missouri University of Science and Technology campus and was seen carrying a gun on campus.

According to a spokesperson for the university, an alert was sent out around 8:45 a.m. on Thursday. At 9:10 a.m., university officials reported that the suspect had left campus.

No shots were fired on campus and no injuries were reported. School is not in session.

Authorities found the Dodge Magnum Wilcoxson was reportedly seen driving near the campus and found blood inside the vehicle.

Willcoxson was released from jail in 2008 after serving a seven year sentence for second-degree burglary, escape from a county jail and assisting escape of a prisoner.
