Armed intruder at Joint Base Andrews is arrested, another fled the base
Two intruders, at least one of them armed, entered Joint Base Andrews on Sunday night, apparently after the return there of Vice President Harris, according to several accounts.
A 17-year-old male was arrested Sunday night and remains in custody, base officials said. He was carrying a firearm at the time of his arrest, according to base officials. Authorities found evidence that a second person fled the base, according to a statement issued early Monday.
No shots were fired, and there were no reports of injuries.
The intruders drove through a security checkpoint at the main gate about 9 p.m. and failed to heed guards’ orders, base officials said late Sunday in a statement.
Barriers were deployed, according to the statement. The vehicle was stopped, but two people fled, the base said.
Units from Prince George’s County police, Maryland State Police, D.C. police , along with Air Force personnel, responded to the breach. They worked alongside base authorities to fully clear the installation, according to the statement.
