FORT BELVOIR, Va. (AP) — A “barricade situation” has drawn the FBI and other law enforcement officials to a U.S. Army base outside the nation’s capital Sunday, according to the official twitter account of Fort Belvoir in northern Virginia.

The base tweeted shortly before 1 p.m. that its law enforcement officials, local police and the FBI had responded “to a barricade situation” Sunday morning.

“The situation is ongoing, & we cannot comment further at this time,” the base tweeted.

It provided no other details except to say some of the gates to the installation remained open.

3. Probably domestic as lots of housing on bases, someone holed up in a house

but now days who knows.

5. Unconfirmed - stressing that - reports on Twitter say an armed man has

barricaded himself in his house and is holding two children hostage. And this situation started at least several hours ago.

Again, this isn't confirmed. But I haven't seen any conflicting tweets. Nothing to indicate anything political about this.

8. It's like all the press outlets, from AP to 'stripes' to Fox, got the exact 'official news' script.

9. Interesting that the police, FBI and other authorities showed up.

But none of them could be bothered to show up at the US Capitol building on 1/6.

11. Interesting yes. But there was a change in management as of 01/20/21

And that has made all the difference.

12. Yes but the lesson is that professionals will easily comply with a criminal POTUS.

10. Just got a suspect in custody after a 7 hour standoff.
