Luke Air force base Shooting

Luke Air Force Base is on high alert after two men who crashed through the front gate late Monday night in a stolen car were shot, killing one and wounding the other, according to base officials.

Base spokesman Capt. Jerry Gonzalez said the pair allegedly stole a car and attempted to flee from authorities. Gonzalez said base security forces set up a roadblock. As the driver tried to run it, security officers fearing for their safety opened fire.

Luke Air Force Base is located in Glendale, Ariz., outside Phoenix, and is used to train pilots to fly F-16 fighter jets.

In the meantime a report says that a person who was riding a stolen car was killed and another injured when they didn’t stop at a security check point in Luke Air Force Base. A report says that “The car went through the entrance without stopping as required and security forces then used a vehicle to set up a roadblock on a bridge leading to the operational side of the base, near Glendale, Capt. Jerry Gonzalez, a spokesman for the base, told msnbc.com”.
