Non-Typical Solutions Report post Posted September 16, 2011 AP) TUCSON, Ariz. — An Air Force Base near Tucson has stepped up security and limited traffic into and out of the base because of an unspecified security situation. A Davis-Monthan Air Force Base spokesperson could not confirm reports of gunfire on the base or say if anyone has been shot. Senior Airman Timothy Dunaway says traffic has been reduced to a single point entry but he refused to elaborate. He says the Sonoran Science Academy on the base is on lockdown. KVOA-TV says the kids are safe on the base. Davis-Monthan is adjacent to the Pima Air & Space Museum and the "boneyard" for old military and government airplanes that is a popular destination for aviation enthusiasts.

desertdog Report post Posted September 16, 2011 Base officials say no shots fired and no injuries. They just had reports of a suspicious person that looked like they had a weapon. The ambulances that were going in and out of the base was for a woman that went into labor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Non-Typical Solutions Report post Posted September 16, 2011 That is good news. One of our lockdowns, a kid that was in welding class had two pieces of rebar sticking out his backpack, looked like a rifle to a passerby who called it in saying there was a student on campus with a rifle in their backpack.
