Law enforcement is investigating after an intruder breached the home
base of Air Force One on Monday before being apprehended.
Joint Base Andrews said in a tweet that a man gained access to a base
housing area at around 11:30 a.m. on Monday. A resident of the base
opened fire at the man, and security arrived at the scene to arrest the intruder.
It said no injuries or property damage were reported.
The base, located in Maryland, houses a fleet of blue and white
presidential aircraft, including Air Force One, Marine One and a “doomsday” 747 airplane that can serve as an airborne nuclear command
and control center if needed.
The base was previously breached in February 2021 when a man passed a military checkpoint and got through fenced secure areas to get into a
C-40, the military’s 737-equivalent aircraft that flies government officials.
The man was arrested after a “mouse ears” cap he was wearing made an observant airman suspicious.
An inspector general concluded that three major failures in security
allowed the man to gain access to the C-40. One was a “human failure” from a security guard allowing him to enter the base despite not having credentials that gave him access.
Another was his ability to get through the fence undetected, and the
third was his ability to walk onto and off a parked airplane without
anyone questioning him despite not having the required badge to gain
access.

At the end of the day going forward, it has been revealed that
undetected breaches during the previous administration have also been detected by methods which can't be revealed due to national security considerations and ongoing detections of other past undetections.

The previous administration was a breach.
