At approximately 8:36 a.m. a male identified as Cody Nathaniel Willcoxon was seen at the entrance gate at Fort Leonard Wood with an AK-47. After being questioned by FLW Military Police the suspect fled the scene, and was pursued by members of the Pulaski County Sheriff's Dept. and St. Robert Police Department in a silver passenger car. The suspect then began to shoot at the pursuing officers, and he headed east on I-44. Spike strips were set up on I-44 which resulted in the suspect exiting at the Rolla 184 Exit. The Suspect then began shooting at Rolla Police Officers and members of the Phelps County Sheriff's Dept. as they pursued him. The suspect then drove through several areas in Rolla where he continued shooting at officers. The suspect vehicle stopped near McNutt Hall at Missouri University of Science and Technology near University Drive/Hwy 63. The suspect fled from his vehicle on foot with a long rifle. A perimeter was established by Law Enforcement Officers around McNutt Hall and the building was cleared by law enforcement officers.
Several minutes later the suspect broke into an occupied residence in the 1000 block of Crinoidal Ct. The suspect demanded the keys to the resident's car and stole it. He later fled the scene in the stolen car and since that time neither he nor the car has been located. The stolen car is identified as:
Stolen Vehicle 2003 Ford Taurus Charcoal Gray in color MO License ROLLAB (The license plate is a Rotary Club International personalized license plate) The vehicle has several stickers on the back window (American Flag, Air Evac, and Rotary Club International)
Thank you! :-)
Yes - he’s actually my first cousin’s stepson - GREAT kid!
Re your photo on post 17 of the perp. This is one strangely shaped dude. Look at the elongated neck, it appears to be the same length as the head, which is highly unusual. And the way the shoulders fall away from the neck. One for the record books.
And the facial expression tells us that we’re dealing with a highly intelligent individual. /s/
Let’s see if we ever find out why he was attempting to get on base.
Sounds like a great idea from the minds of Monty Python.
What’s gonna happen is the Post Commander is going to issue
(more) new regs that restrict access to firearms for on post personnel.
And thn he will claim he solved the problem.
Are they military bases or Peace Corps posts?
Jr ROTC programs if the troops can’t have arms and ammo at hand.
