Active shooter, lock-down…… FALSE FLAG IN PROGRESS.
Watch for your favorite crisis actors in this one. (Maybe they’ll employ David Wheeler again)
“The lockdowns for the base, Allen and Valley Hi Elementary Schools and Rayburn Middle School were all lifted by 10:15 a.m.”

“In a news conference at the base, Brig. Gen. Bob LaBrutta, the commander of the 502nd Air Base Wing and Joint Base San Antonio, said two men were found dead in an office on the first floor of building 147 of the Medina Annex, a classroom facility known as Forbes Hall. Two Glock weapons were found at the scene, LaBrutta said.
According to initial internal Pentagon communications obtained by Air Force Times, the commanding officer of a training squadron at the base was shot by an airman. The initial communication may have listed an incorrect squadron.
An Air Force spokeswoman at the Pentagon could not immediately confirm the internal report. LaBrutta said the Air Force will not release any information on the deceased pending notification of their next of kin, or a possible motive in the shooting.”

Aren’t those ‘gun-free’ zones?
“A spokesman for Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland said military-issued and personal firearms are heavily restricted on the base and that it’s not clear whether a gunman involved in a murder-suicide was authorized to have a weapon.
The base’s civilian spokesman, Dan Hawkins, said it’s too early to determine whether the gunman in Friday’s shooting was registered to have a weapon. Two guns were found in the room where the bodies were discovered.
A senior U.S. official speaking on condition of anonymity said the attack involved an airman who shot his commander.
Hawkins said weapons are used for training purposes and carried by base security personnel, but personal firearms cannot be freely carried on the base. He also said security officers must be notified if a personal weapon is being brought onto the installation and the firearm also must be registered, in addition to other requirements.”
