Man shot after trying to access Little Rock Air Force Base, officials say

Source: Arkansas Democrat-Gazette

The man who was shot while trying to gain access to Little Rock Air Force Base Monday morning was armed with a rifle, the base commander said Monday afternoon, but his motive remains unknown.

Col. Charles "Chip" Brown provided some details about the would-be intruder, who was reportedly shot about 9:15 a.m. as he got out of a maroon Ford Expedition just outside the main base gate on Vandenberg Boulevard.

The man was taken to UAMS Medical Center in critical condition.

Brown said it appeared the intruder — who he described only as a white man — may have lost control of his vehicle and hit a street sign before getting out of it with a rifle in his hands. He said he didn't know if the man fired, though he said the incident was likely caught on video that will be reviewed.
