Fox News reported:
Security forces at the Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland (JBSA) returned fire early Saturday on at least one drive-by suspect who is accused of firing upon the main gate at the JBSA-Chapman Training Annex, a JBSA spokesperson tells Fox News Digital.
The officers were fired upon at around 4:30 a.m. by at least one suspect in a sedan and immediately returned fire. There were no injuries reported, and the gate was shut for a number of hours.
It is unclear how many shooters were involved and how many times they fired upon the base.
“There was no active threat to the installation … and our security forces responded to mitigate the threat,” spokesperson Stefanie Antosh said, noting that the suspect or suspects did not try to breach the gates.
The reason for the shooting remains unclear, and there have been no details disclosed about the suspects involved.

This is Biden’s illegals/terrorists at work and more to come
It may be that no reason is the reason. No better way to shake someone up than apparently reasonless actions.
Were the entrance guards Military Police – they should be. What good is the military if they can’t protect their base? After all it is a military reservation. I believe that military should have civilian oversight but should not be controlled totally by the President of the USA. The last 3 years under Biden if nothing else supports that. There should not be a situation where they can be influenced by the president alone. An example, Bidens treatment of Israel should not have been a one-man decision especially after Congress voted to provide those supplies especially after Israel paid for them. Same goes for all the money we sent to Iran and the Ukraine.
