Two people are dead at Texas' Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland after reports of an active shooter there, the Bexar County Sheriff's Department said Friday morning on Twitter. The facility -- also known as Lackland Air Force Base -- is on lockdown, according to its Facebook page. The Sheriff's Department reported shortly before 9 a.m. CT that it was responding to a report of an active shooter at the Air Force facility in southwestern San Antonio. It reported the deaths about an hour later. "We have two dead at Lackland Air Force Base, deputies are still inside the building," the Sheriff's Department said on Twitter. Details about the shooting and whether a shooter still was at large weren't immediately available. The shooting was reported at the facility's Medina Annex, the base's Facebook page said. Lackland is where the U.S. Air Force conducts its basic training for enlistees. Lackland is one of three major military facilities -- the others being Fort Sam Houston and Randolph Air Force Base -- that merged to form Joint Base San Antonio in 2010.

AP sez it's a murder-suicide.

workplace shit or lovers.
Seemks unlikely. When I was there for basic training in the 70's, the only time we had any access to weapons was during the one time we had to qualify with the M-16. Hard to imagine how an airman basic could get his hands on a weapon. Then again, if the guy was not there doing basic training, I suppose it's possible. In a Cop Culture, the Bill of Rights Doesn’t Amount to Much It says nothing about the airman shooter being a basic trainee. In fact,since it was a squadron commander that was murdered,we can probably safely assume it wasn't. Basic trainees never even see squadron commanders,never mind get in arguments with and shoot them. BOYCOTT PAYPAL AND CLOSE YOUR PP ACCOUNTS NOW! ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO DO SO,TOO! ISLAM MEANS SUBMISSION! Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012) American Indians had open borders. Look at how well that worked out for them.

Americans who have no experience with, or knowledge of, tyranny believe that only terrorists will experience the unchecked power of the state. They will believe this until it happens to them, or their children, or their friends.
