Breaking: Shooting Outside MacDill AFB Leaves One Dead

by Stephan Tawney on May 19, 2010

Pretty much all of the details available right now are in the headline. There has been a shooting outside MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, leaving one person dead. MacDill is home to Central Command, which will possibly become important in this story.

Local news sources here and here.

Update: MyFox Tampa Bay is reporting:

Reports indicate a man tried to crash through the gate, armed with a knife, and security guards shot him.

Okey dokey then. Something tells me this guy was a few fries short of a Happy Meal.

Update X2: Via CNN, the suspect was on a motorcycle. There was an altercation at the base Family Camp and he tried to flee through the gate. He was shot by base law enforcement and died.
