this is a breaking story and not many details exist at the moment. So maybe we can update this thread as info becomes available. Pope AF Base is quite close to me but I'm not gonna go sniffing around just for a story that I'm sure the news will cover. But keep an eye out. Less than 4 hrs old.

an extra tid-bit

The base is home to the 43rd Airlift Wing and 440th Airlift Wing. Its website says it has 1,500 housing units.

I guesse the lock down is to catch the shooter but what if he is locked down with everyone else?

I guesse you can not just let them all hunt this scum bag down...

Will be scanning the wires to see if I can find more updates.

STAY SAFE BOON like you said i'm sure you could, but don't!

That is as much as your going to hear about it...unless he took out 13 or 33 people...... gee wonder whats up with those numbers Just as I posted this - this was posted in realtme Link
