Security officers exchanged gunfire with multiple active shooters at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland.
Multiple active shooters tried to breach the main gate at the Chapman Training Annex around 4:30 am on Saturday, according to KSAT.
No injuries were reported. It is unclear how many shooters were at the main gate.

The shooters had no affiliation with the military, KSAT reported.
According to Fox News, the security officers were fired upon by suspects in a sedan.
Fox News reported:

Security forces at the Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland (JBSA) returned fire early Saturday on at least one drive-by suspect who is accused of firing upon the main gate at the JBSA-Chapman Training Annex, a JBSA spokesperson tells Fox News Digital.
The officers were fired upon at around 4:30 a.m. by at least one suspect in a sedan and immediately returned fire. There were no injuries reported, and the gate was shut for a number of hours.

It is unclear how many shooters were involved and how many times they fired upon the base.
“There was no active threat to the installation … and our security forces responded to mitigate the threat,” spokesperson Stefanie Antosh said, noting that the suspect or suspects did not try to breach the gates.

The motive for the shooting is not known. No details about the suspects were released.

4:30am?

Nah, you had a junior NCO who lost his ID card. His buddies pulled up to the gate and fired a couple mags of blanks while he ran through the gate unchecked.


I may have seen this maneuver before..

Perfect escape and evasion then.

These were Army or Marine infantry, probably there for some useless school.

Aug. 17 (UPI) -- An exchange of gunfire between military personnel and assailants outside an Air Force base in San Antonio forced the closure of the facility's main gate on Saturday, military officials and local police said.
An unknown suspect or suspects first fired shots at security personnel at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland/Chapman Training Annex around 2:15 a.m. on Saturday, the San Antonio Police Department said in a statement issued to media outlets.
More shots were fired just before 5:00 a.m., coming from a sedan stopped on a road east of the same entrance gate.
"For a second time, shots were fired at the Air Force Security personnel, however, with the additional security personnel present, multiple Air Force personnel returned fire toward the suspect vehicle," police said. "Upon investigation, evidence was located indicating shots were fired from the suspect vehicle's location. This investigation is ongoing."
Base officials also confirmed the shooting incident in an issued statement.
"We did not have any casualties or injuries," the statement said. "It was not an active threat to the installation. San Antonio Police Department are handling the investigation of the incident."

I hope they aren't paying these 'journalists" a lot of money.

That is the Special Warfare annex, formerly known as Medina Annex. The neighborhood right outside of that gate is quite bad, but I wouldn't be surprised to learn that this is driven by foreign actors.

“multiple Air Force personnel returned fire toward the suspect vehicle," police said.


And no one was injured!!!??? Sounds like some guys need to go back through BT and learn to handle their M4’s

 

[MK20]

It's the air force. What did you expect?

 

[rhsc]

I don't know. This sounds like a soldier on gate-guard duty is "known" to a local gang and they came to settle a score or maybe just send a message. Need more details/intel.

Gate guards aren't issued M4's

 

[vh20]

No description of the suspects, yet they know they are not military. Odd...

 

[sirhrmechanic]

They actually let the air police have guns?

FIFY

Sirhr

This surprises people? My only surprise is it has not happened on a large scale yet. Wait until you wake up one morning and similar events happened at 500-1K+ places at once.

Or places like this in Ireland popping up around all the bases where china owns land. I believe it’s 19 bases across the country where china purchased large pieces of property.

This guy has a "compound" not too far from where I lived in PA. There have been reports of automatic gunfire within the compound. People up there are used to regular gunfire as there are mulitple shooting ranges nearby, so it's not like some "Karens" were freaked out by the sound of a few rounds being fired off.

A road trip through Pennsylvania's Poconos Mountains leads to one of the world's most hated people: Fethullah Gulen. Turkey vilifies the charismatic preacher as the instigator of the failed coup in July.
