BREITBART LONDON/ A man was arrested Monday afternoon after attempting to force his way onto a Royal Air Force base in Suffolk, England, which is the primary home of the United States Air Force in the United Kingdom.
RAF Mildenhall was locked down around 1300 UK time as a vehicle reportedly attempted ramming the front security gates. Shots were fired by security personnel, reports the Daily Telegraph, and the suspect is reported to have sustained “cuts and bruises”. There were no other injuries.
The official Facebook account of the airbase was used to release a short statement on the incident, which said “RAF Mildenhall locked down at 1 p.m. today following reports of a disturbance on base. The base was locked down and emergency personnel are responding to the situation.”
Mildenhall is one of the largest presences of U.S. forces in the United Kingdom and Europe, and is home to the USAF 100th Air Refueling Wing. MORE
There can’t be any real danger: guns are illegal in England.
White Christian males suspected
Apparently he misread the UK appeasement policy of welcoming “invaders” and confused that with USAF shoot to kill.
Lucky he lived to jihad for another day, now spread the word to your fellow martyrs, US military on foreign bases are the new No Go Zones.
If shots were fired but the suspect only suffered cuts and bruises then everyone needs more time at the range.
Are U.S. air personnel armed? If not, WHY NOT?
