DC military base locked down until armed man detained
Source: ABC News
A military base in the nation's capital was locked down for about two hours Friday, after an armed man ran onto the grounds during a local police investigation of gunshots on the streets surrounding the base.
A statement from Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling said the man's firearm was discovered after the intrusion, and the intruder himself was detained around 2:45 p.m. during "a thorough sweep of the installation."
The individual, who was not named, was transferred to Washington's Metropolitan Police Department.
The naval support facility at the north end of the base is used by Marine Helicopter Squadron One, the fleet of green helicopters that carry the president and vice president.

Hell, the man never covers his own.

(45,460 posts)It is a rough neighborhood and JBAB is walking distance from the Anacostia metro station where one can encounter a motley crew of crazy people, drug dealers, military/contractors, and normal people going to work or school. I worked with a lot of conservative Republican white women and they would always want someone to walk with them to the metro station or parking lot for safety.

It didn't say the person entered the facility. Just on the grounds, which could be well outside the fence.
