A spokesperson from the Navy’s media department says around 7 p.m. the male trespasser was “belligerent” and threatened a security naval civilian officer at the main gate with a knife. In response to that, an officer fired shots. It is unclear if they were warning shots or not and the investigation is ongoing.

I’m shocked the officer was allowed to be armed.

Any breach of security like this is shoot to kill and not wound for our protection.

It’s not clear where he is being held. Groton Police said they do not have him; and the FBI in New Haven said they are not commenting, not saying if he is in their custody or whether he will be in court today.

Must be a pretty important muslim.

Neither article on this posted on FRIDAY IDed the guy, and now that the FBI went “no comment”, it’s likely the guy is a lone wolf sudden jihadi.

There are civilian owned and operated submarines out there and they are probably kept at a “base” some where.
