A person was shot and killed at a Marine Corps Recruit Depot entrance gate Friday after approaching base personnel with a knife in a hostile intent, Marine officials said.

Just before noon, a vehicle attempted to enter the base at the gate 5 entrance. Base personnel asked the person to stop the vehicle. The person then got out of the vehicle with a knife and approached the personnel.

After several warnings, the person was shot. Emergency services were called and they were later pronounced dead at the scene, said First Lt. Joshua Collins with MCRD.

Suicide by Marine.

[forgotten man]

He won’t do that again.

[katana]

Was he yelling something that sounded like Aloha Snack Bar?

[bray]

If he did there will never be a motive.

[myerson]

It’s suicidal to screw around at a military gate. The guards are trained to remove the threat decisively and swiftly.

they were later pronounced dead at the scene

They?

[super7man]

Emergency services were called and they were later pronounced dead at the scene,

Lost a guy with a knife and emergency service folks too? Bad day on the job.

[kiryandil]

He was yelling “I’ll get you, Kyle Rittenhouse!”.

[super7man]

You beat me by 3 seconds. ;o)

[dynachrome]

“They?”

Maybe he had time to give his preferred pronoun.

[kiryandil]

It was their pronoun.

[kiryandil]

“they” now identify as “stiff”...

[Mean Daddy]

Took classes with a young man who was over a segment of security at an air force base and he’d tell stories about drunks coming to the gates and generally speaking, they left them alone but once they crossed the line into the base, he said they’d hang onto them a day or two just to set an example.

I can see that. I can see that. But why kill Emergency Services?

From the way the story is written, it is evident that the baboon at the local zoo wrote it. A kindergarten student could have done a better job.

[Luke21]

How many times does this nitwit need to say “person” in one article?

Re: "After several warnings, the person was shot. Emergency services were called and they were later pronounced dead at the scene..."

...they were later pronounced dead?

They? Emergency services were pronounced dead?

My name is zeestephen, and my preferred pronoun is "it."

[Governor Dinwiddie]

We have so much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving weekend. Yet another one bites the dust. What a blessing!

[Equine1952]

I think they told Custer “ you can try to go in there but you won’t come out?

[reg45]

They. Multiple Personality Disorder!

[ProtectOurFreedom]

THEY won't do that again. C'mon, man! Get with the New English (for illiterates).
