Gunman barricaded in building at US air base
None
An airman armed with a pistol barricaded himself in a building at an Air Force base that controls GPS satellites, but operations haven't been disrupted, officials said Monday. The building was evacuated, and no shots were fired and no one was injured, said Schriever Air Force Base spokeswoman Jennifer Thibault.
The airman is a member of a security squadron and is armed with his own handgun, she said. The airman's name, rank and service history weren't immediately released. The gunman faces a discharge over a matter in civilian court, but no other details were available, said Air Force Lt. Marie Denson. He is still classified as being on active duty, she said. (AP)
