DC military base locked down until armed man detained
A military base in the nation's capital was locked down for about two hours Friday, after an armed man ran onto the grounds during a local police investigation of gunshots on the streets surrounding the base.
A statement from Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling said the man's firearm was discovered after the intrusion, and the intruder himself was detained around 2:45 p.m. during "a thorough sweep of the installation."
The individual, who was not named, was transferred to Washington's Metropolitan Police Department.
The naval support facility at the north end of the base is used by Marine Helicopter Squadron One, the fleet of green helicopters that carry the president and vice president.
