Washington — Another intruder has breached one of the nation's most sensitive military bases — the home of Air Force One — and this time a resident opened fire on the trespasser, Joint Base Andrews said in a statement late Monday.
During the incident, which occurred at about 11:30 a.m. Monday, "a man gained unauthorized access to a JBA housing area," Joint Base Andrews said in the statement posted to Twitter. "A resident discharged a firearm, security forces arrived on scene to apprehend the intruder....

Preferably they recovered the body of the deceased intruder ...
What is his immigration status?
Also, what sort of religious beliefs does he have?
> a resident opened fire on the trespasser <
The word “resident” is interesting there. The good guy was evidently not a security person. Is the DoD now sensibly allowing other personnel to be armed?
On many bases, You are allowed to store personal weapons in family housing.
Barracks dwellers have to store their toys in the armory or off base storage.
I know Federal employees who live at Andrews. According to them, the housing is great especially if only living in Washington area for a short time. I am glad the residents can have firearms. I know some who are former military.
I just hope he was vaccinated
Uh, a resident on the base had a weapon? Which was used? An officer? Do they trust enlisted with weapons on bases any longer?
LOL! See 9. We had the same thought.
A day later and we still know almost nothing about this incident. Everything is ‘unclear’.
The Presidental airplanes are covered by extra security. Andrews is a huge base. I doubt the intruder got near the planes.
We need a description of the intruder.
I had to work on a large military base and stay there for a week at a time.
The members of the unit I trained with had special compensation to carry our personal arms and keep them in our rooms.
So on some base some people do keep personal arms.
> Everything is ‘unclear’. <
As we have seen from recent events, a balloon is great for gathering intelligence. Perhaps the DoD should borrow a balloon from China, and hover it over the base. Then the next time there’s a breach we’ll know exactly what happened.
I am sure, what this nerd did, is perfectly fine with the rats, 🐀 as long as he is vaccinated. Do I really need a sarcasm tag?
“The members of the unit I trained with had special compensation to carry our personal arms and keep them in our rooms.”
That goes so far against anything I’ve ever seen I’ve got to ask for some details, like branch, base, circumstances, time frame? Issued weapons maybe I could understand, but personal weapons in the barracks?
Meanwhile someone in AZ is facing murder charges when someone came on his land with, shall we say, unauthorized access. One set of laws for the Lords, an entirely different set for the peasants.
Did they at least release the intruder’s pronouns?
A few years ago a Chinese general addressed a Communist party gathering about China’s population problem being solved by taking over the USA and moving millions of their excess people
to America. The flight path of the balloon just shot down was over the mid section of America that could adsorb this transfer of China’s excess population
