CNN reports that a heavily-armed man and woman are in custody after trying to enter MacDill Air Force Base in Florida at about 5 P.M. Monday.
MacDill serves as a headquarters for both CENTCOM, which governs troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, and SOCCOM, the military’s special operations command structure. The pair were clad in military uniforms and had several “rifle-type” weapons on their person.
The two were being questioned Monday evening, another Air Force spokeswoman, Elizabeth Gosselin, told CNN.
Authorities cordoned off their sport-utility vehicle and searched it using a robot, but no explosives were found, Holt said. Video showed base personnel removing weapons, ammunition and military-style clothing from the vehicle.
