Ive been past there recently as I am a part time produce driver and have two stops close to there. Ive seen increased security activity more recently. Maybe they have had threats prior. I wouldnt be surprised if it isnt on some nuts target list. They have some interesting assets there. And sure its a bit North but still near D town.

First off, it doesn't have a single word about him being killed.

HARRISON TWP.- Macomb County Sheriff officials said a man was shot Wednesday evening after running his vehicle through the main gate at Selfridge Air National Guard Base....security guards fired shots at the man after he rammed his vehicle through the gate about 8 p.m. and ignored orders to stop. The driver led security patrols on a high-speed chase around the base before slamming into a parked car and being run off the road, Carroll said. He was taken to Mount Clemens General Hospital with unspecified injuries
It's the second such incident at Selfridge in recent weeks.

That says he is being treated, which implies he survived, and thus wasn't killed.
The article also states that it is the second incident, so yes there have been "similar incidents" at bases.

If it is any sort of effort, it is a very weak attempt. I know boyscouts who could have got in easier and probably with out the trouble. Heck even girl scouts.


However, being that it is not an isolated occurance, I'll be looking forward to the follow up report by the FBI and State authories.

Well I have been trying to find some additional info on this particular news story. However, I happened to be listening to the radio....WWJ 760 am (the voice of the Great Lakes) ... and it was reported on the local radio news channel that the suspect had, indeed, been killed. I havn't located additional news sources, however, to substantiate the killing claim. (but, honestly, I haven't had too much time to devote on this at the present time).

Strangely, when I went to find additional news stories, I found that I had to put a little more effort in finding the story than I would have liked. For instance, my first post actually had a link to the Detroit Free Press -- when I linked the site I copied the URL but it redirects to the news source that I, ultimately, posted.

It's not a big story but I thought that there would be more of a notice in the papers. It might have been overshadowed by a current investigation in the Milford, Michigan area --- the search for Jimmy Hoffa. Still, I did think that there would be more to the story.

I was also surprised that a similar incident had occured earlier -- in April. But I haven't found any details on that incident.

This all makes me wonder whether similar occurences are happening around the country at various military and government facilities.

That may just be the exact situation. Being in West Michigan I have not heard a thing about the shooting, but Hoffa is plastered all over the paper.

What is funny, last year a story about Hoffa was released, but it said he was under some peoples kitchen floor. Starting to wonder why such woul be more inmportant that current events, unless it was used to cover something up. As you said, over shadow.

all i can say is....This is a sticky situation,

Well that ends this thread. Good basic detective work "Don't Tread On Me". Still it opens up a new area for people to research. Are there any "intruders" or "probes" of American military or governmental facilities? This incident was probably a mentally deranged individual however there might be other incidents that remain "local news" that, alone, amount to nothing. Collectively, a collection of incidents against important bases, buildings and facilities would certainly indicate, well, "something". It might be a good idea to start noting unusual or suspicious news items concerning this type of story.

The conspiracy theorist in me agrees with you. We know news can be altered to fit into the "official story". Maybe the man really wasn't unbalanced.

OTOH, why would his sister lie and go along with the military's story?

At any rate, I think it is good to make note of these events.
