KENS5 reports that Air Force Security Forces and U.S. Marshals are helping multiple polie forces search for a man in the area of JBSA (Joint Base San Antonio) Camp Bullis.
The search began after a police officer questioned the fugitive earlier in the day. The fugitive, upon early questioning, reportedly jumped out of the car (which the police later confirmed was a stolen F-250) and ran across an embankment.
Police say the fugitive does not pose a danger to people in the area as of yet.
The official JBSA Twitter account tweeted of the incident, “An armed suspect breached the fence at JBSA-Camp Bullis at approx. 10 a.m. today. San Antonio Police Dept. officers were in pursuit of the suspect who was driving a stolen vehicle on I-10 when he approached the Camp Bullis gate, which was closed.”
The account added in a followup tweet, “The suspect jumped over the fence & is believed to be armed & dangerous. AF Security Forces, local law enforcement, SAPD & U.S. Marshals are in pursuit of the suspect. JBSA-Camp Bullis is currently on lockdown. No other JBSA locations are affected by the lockdown.”
