A U.S. Air Force investigation is underway after a Security Forces Squadron airman shot and killed a civilian individual who was trying to enter the Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Arizona on Friday.

According to a Davis-Monthan Air Force Base news release obtained by Military.com, the civilian individual who attempted to enter the Air Force base on Friday “failed to stop and identify themselves at the base’s main gate” and was allegedly “driving erratically” at roughly 2:30 a.m. (local time). Davis-Monthan Air Force Base officials noted that the unidentified individual crashed into a vehicle barrier at the base and tried to back up during the incident.


In the news release obtained by Military.com, Air Force officials confirmed that a U.S. airman from the Security Forces Squadron “shot and fatally injured” the individual after multiple troops used their weapons to prevent the individual from entering the base.

It sounds like the driver may have been under the alcofluence of incahol.  The fact his name isn't being announced makes me wonder if he is a "non-American person with immigration intentions."
