From ABC Action News:

SNIP

Police responded to an unknown situation just after 6 p.m. The gate has been closed for more than three hours now.

While it's not clear what is going on, people close to the scene say the bomb squad is there and they're dismantling an SUV.

I was at McDill once. I tried to break out. Anybody wanting in has a nefarious plan or is very, very bored.

Officials say an Army veteran who sped away from security at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Fla., has been shot and killed by an FBI agent at the base. Officials say the veteran threatened the agent with a knife. (May 19)

If they are Hispanic, the authorities will not be able to ask for I.D. — that will be racist!!!

HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY (Bay News 9) — A traffic crash early Monday forced the closing of the main gates at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa.

According to base officials, a vehicle crashed into the main gates at Dale Mabry Higway. Officials rerouted traffic while repairs were done to the gate.

Traffic had to enter the base through gates at Bayshore Boulevard or MacDill Avenue. Dale Mabry entry was restored by 11 a.m.

Officials said four people were in a Dodge Intrepid that approached the base at 12:45 a.m.

Security officials, suspecting the driver was drunk, asked the individual to turn off the vehicle.

The driver then reversed his vehicle, hitting another car behind it, before proceeding unauthorized through the gate.

Gate security barriers were activated successfully, stopping the vehicle.

...the bomb squad is there and they're dismantling an SUV. the bomb squad is there and they're dismantling an SUV.

Anyone see the movie "Walking Tall" (the remake) with Duane Johnson (aka "The Rock")? Maybe something like the scene where he and his deputy take apart the truck?

Thanks - may prove to be serious ??

>> Anyone know if they are Amish?

They didn’t say, but no doubt they are. When those Amish trade their buggies for SUVs, LOOK OUT! You know they’ve gone bad.
