    Someone crashed the gate. Religion of Peace? The mouthpiece at the White House announced it's not terrorism already.

    A shooting and fatal car crash on Luke Air Force Base in Litchfield, Ariz., have left one person dead and another injured, KSAZ reported.
    A security forces officer reportedly tried to talk to two men inside a car, reported to be stolen, that was driven through a gate at the base, said Officer Karen Gerardo, the public information officer at the Glendale Police Department.
    When the security forces officer got out of his car to try to make contact with the two men, the car drove directly at him. The officer shot at the car, which then crashed, said Gerardo.
    One of the occupants of the vehicle was killed. His cause of death has not been determined.
    The other person in the car was injured and transported to a hospital.
    Investigators do not suspect terrorism, said Gerardo.

    According to Glendale police, the suspects drove the car through a gate at the base.



    A security forces officers from Luke got out of his car and approached them. That's when the suspects tried to run him down with the car.


    The officer opened fire on the car and it crashed. One of the suspects died and the other was hospitalized.


    We're also learning the car was reported as stolen.

    I think that's exactly what it was.

    I think they were running with the stolen car, took a wrong turn and didnt realize they entered a military installation. The decided not to "get caught" and didn't understand their situation.

    Poor SOBs. lol

    Sorry, I have absolutely NO sympathy for then.
