Shot fired after intruder breaches base of Air Force One, 'doomsday' aircraft

An intruder breached the home of Air Force One, one of the nation's most sensitive military bases.

Another intruder has breached the home of Air Force One, one of the nation's most sensitive military bases, and this time a resident opened fire on the trespasser, Joint Base Andrews said in a statement late Monday.

Joint Base Andrews is home to the fleet of blue and white presidential aircraft, including Air Force One and the "doomsday" 747 aircraft that can serve as the nation's airborne nuclear command and control centers if needed. It's not the first time the base's security has been breached; in February 2021 a man got through the military checkpoint onto the installation, then through additional fenced secure areas to gain access to the flight line and climb into a C-40, which is the military's 737-equivalent aircraft used to fly government officials.
