One person was killed and another was taken to the hospital in a shooting and crash at Luke Air Force Base in U.S. state of Arizona on Tuesday, local media reported.
The incident occurred at 11 p.m. local time Monday night in the city of Litchfield Park, Arizona, and investigators were still on the scene hours later, Fox News quoted Capt. Gonzales, spokesman at Luke Air Force Base, as saying.
Two men attempted to drive through the Base gate with their reported stolen car, and drove directly at a security officer who wanted to stop them peacefully by setting up a road block, according to the spokesman.
The security officer was then forced to fire at the car and made it crash. One person in the car was dead at the scene, and the other was seriously injured and taken to the hospital, said the report.
Investigators do not believe the incident is a terrorist plot, said Gonzales. |
