Although the situation necessitated return gunfire from security officials, military personnel assured the public that there was no ongoing threat to the facility.
In an official statement, JBSA emphasized that the shooters have no apparent ties to the military. Details regarding the number of individuals involved and any injuries resulting from the exchange of gunfire were not disclosed by JBSA.
Initially, the entry gate to the training annex was closed, and traffic was diverted to an alternate entry point north on Ray Ellison Boulevard. However, normal operations and access were reinstated by 10 a.m.
While JBSA initially labeled the individuals as “active shooters,” the San Antonio Police Department refrained from categorizing the event as an active-shooter situation, indicating a difference in the interpretation of the incident.
As of now, it remains unclear whether the matter is under investigation by military authorities or the San Antonio Police Department, as no additional information has been made available at this time.

They already did, both of them. Ordered captured, not killed by woke democrat base commanders. Immediately released AOR by communist democrat judges! It’s shades of the israeli art student Sayanim all over again.
States are authorized to declare [lethal] war if invaded. Why are states sitting on their asses ?? Art. I, Sec 10, clause 3.
Because they are in on the uniparty scamming of citizens!! You think you elected those officials too or controlled opposition?
The Guard must have pissed on someone’s Wheaties breakfast.
On the way to Dennys after the bars closed. Yeeeeha!
Actually, there were no active shooters anywhere involved. They were terrorists, pure and simple. Brought in by the Boris Biden-ov contingent. As evidenced by the fbi inviting themselves in to smerch the investigation,and cover the terrorists tracks.
