Armed intruder at Joint Base Andrews is arrested; another fled the base

Two intruders, at least one of them armed, entered Joint Base Andrews on Sunday night, apparently after the return there of Vice President Harris, according to several accounts.

Early Monday, officials said the facility’s main gate had reopened after a “full sweep” of the base was completed. Officials said they confirmed that one of the intruders who was “on the loose had departed” the base.

The other intruder, a 17-year-old male, was arrested Sunday night and remains in custody, base officials said. He was carrying a firearm at the time of his arrest, according to base officials.

No shots were fired, and there were no reports of injuries.

The intruders drove a stolen vehicle through a security checkpoint at the main gate about 9 p.m. and failed to heed guards’ orders, base officials said late Sunday in a statement.

clumsy attempt at assassination is my guess (what else are 2 guys in a stolen car driving through the checkpoint are there to do?)

life in prison will be their reward.

doubt it in this day and age of a fascist puppet of Putin's admired by millions in this country. And vice-President Harris back from Alabama where she was openly insulted by a racist 'guvner'? It's not a stretch to try to understand the mindset of these 2 idiots. Put them in prison!!! Domestic terrorists.
