Security forces at the Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland (JBSA) returned fire early Saturday on at least one drive-by suspect who is accused of firing upon the main gate at the JBSA-Chapman Training Annex, a JBSA spokesperson tells Fox News Digital.

The officers were fired upon at around 4:30 a.m. by at least one suspect in a sedan and immediately returned fire. There were no injuries reported, and the gate was shut for a number of hours.

Unsettling. Lots of questions to be answered before opining. Hope they catch the perp(s). (As a teen, I had my memorable introduction into the USAF at Lackland, nearly 60 yrs ago)

“Newcomers” unhappy with residual whites

Good that gate security personnel had live ammunition .

Cartels testing the waters.

[Organic Panic]

My guess... Mexican gangsters

Worked that gate many times. We always had live ammo.

[DIRTYSECRET]

I do believe it’s an open base. At least it was 50 years ago. I’d be easy to mow down a bunch of rainbows marching down the street in formation.

What would they have to gain? My guess would be radicals of some sort. Muslims, Antifa, etc. Terror for the sake of terror.

We were always armed standing the gates at Eglin AFB in the ‘70s.

Base security didn’t give chase and arrest the perp? They just let him drive away? WTH?

Mexican gangsters are more than happy to commit acts of terror - as long as they’re paid for it.

[Alas Babylon!]

I remember back in the late 70s a female SP at the Peterson AFB gate was playing with her gun while her boyfriend watched and shot herself in the leg.

She claimed an armed intruder did it and the base was under lockdown for several hours. Later the truth was found, and she was discharged for the discharge.

[gundog]

I think rainbows would break ranks pretty quickly.

[No name given]

It could also be mooselimb terrorists, North Korean special forces or Chinese troops.

[vivenne]

Like the Jordanians breached the gate at Quantico and Joe let th go.

[HollyB]

I’m more likely to think they were Venezuelan

[alstewartfan]

Whites are now a “remnant”.

[mware]

Thanks Joe. Thanks Kamala.

“Good that gate security personnel had live ammunition .”

I thought the Clintons had ended that. Fortunately, they did not.

[PLMerite]

Live ammo and something useful to run it through, like a BAR.

How would that work out when they have no jurisdiction in the civilian area?
