It is probably an exercise. We had one two weeks ago. If she is a student in a training squadron then they won't tell them it is an exercise. They are just training us to duck and cover and not do anything heroic.

From CNN story on Adam Gadahn:
"Reports of the arrest came hours after Islamist Web sites posted video of Gadahn praising the November massacre at Fort Hood, Texas. On the video, Gadahn said the U.S. Army major charged with gunning down 13 people "lit a path" for other Muslim service members to follow." Makes you wonder... Nothing on CNN yet.

If they would take him out, and hang him then let all the troops march by and look on parade friday, or however they do it now, would put an end to a lot of this crap. If there was an actual shooter/hostage taker. If it's just a couple kids out of basic runnin around in masks or what not, thats all in good fun. |

Posted: Monday, 08 March 2010 5:08AM Armed Man Arrested, Sheppard Air Force Lock Down Now Lifted The lock-down has now been lifted at Sheppard Air Force Base in Wichita Falls where investigators are questioning an armed man captured a little after 9 p.m. Sunday evening. Sheppard Public Affairs Officer George Woodward tells 1080 KRLD that an airman was seen carrying a shotgun near one of the base dormitories. Air Force Security Forces confronted the airman, disarmed him and took him into custody around 9:20 p.m. Woodward corrects early Internet reports, saying there were, in fact, no shots fired. The airman remains locked up and will be questioned further this morning. |

TAG.
There is a skeet and trap range just to the NW of Sheppard; hopefully this person was just being foolish and returned from having a fun day of clays and did not have any other intentions. I was in WF in 2008 when they locked down for whatever reason (training I guess) and those Air Force police got real mean real quick for obvious reasons. |

Airman with shotgun disarmed at Sheppard AFB
The Associated Press Posted : Monday Mar 8, 2010 8:33:11 EST http://www.airforcetimes.com/news/2010/03/ap_gunman_sheppard_030810/ WICHITA FALLS, Texas — A shotgun-toting airman in training at Sheppard Air Force Base is in custody after being confronted outside a dormitory. Spokesman George Woodward says no shots were fired, nobody was hurt and the base "wouldn't issue a weapon to an airman in training." Woodward says the base at Wichita Falls had to be shut down Sunday night during the incident but reopened Monday. Woodward told the Associated Press that security forces received a call about a man with a weapon outside Building 776, housing male and female personnel. Woodward says security confronted the airman and he dropped the shotgun. Woodward says there was no immediate indication that the airman was targeting anyone. The spokesman could not confirm if the airman lives at the dorm. Wichita Falls is about 130 miles northeast of Dallas. |
