   U.S. Air Force security guards exchanged gunfire with someone who twice opened   
   fire on an entrance to Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland early Saturday,   
   according to a spokesperson for the base.   
      
   “It was an off-base shooting from a passing vehicle that fired shots towards   
   the gate, prompting our security forces to respond,” base spokesperson   
   Stefanie Antosh said in a statement. “There is no threat to the   
   installation. We had no injuries, no    
   fatalities.”   
      
   Antosh said the shooting was being investigated by San Antonio police, who   
   said in a release that the first shooting occurred about 2:15 a.m.   
      
   “The security personnel stated they heard several shots fired as well as the   
   fired rounds go past them,” Sgt. Washington Moscoso said in the release.   
   “After this incident, the security personnel added more armed guards as a   
   precaution.”   
      
   A vehicle later stopped near the same entrance shortly after 4:30 a.m.,   
   Moscoso said.   
      
   “For a second time, shots were fired at the Air Force security personnel,   
   however, with the additional security personnel present, multiple Air Force   
   personnel returned fire toward the suspect vehicle,” Moscoso said.   
      
   The vehicle then fled. No injuries were reported and the shootings remained   
   under investigation, Moscoso said.   
      
   It was not known how many rounds were fired, how many shooters there were, or   
   what their motive was, according to Antosh.   
      
   The entrance was closed for several hours after the shooting before reopening   
   about 9:30 a.m., but the base was not locked down, according to Antosh.   
      
   In addition to Lackland, Joint Base San Antonio includes Randolph Air Force   
   Base and the Army’s Fort Sam Houston and the Camp Bulllis training camp.   
      
   Lackland is home to more than 24,000 active duty members and 10,000 Department   
   of Defense civilians, according to the base website. It includes the 37th   
   Training Wing; 149th Fighter Wing; 59th Medical Wing; the Air Force   
   Intelligence, Surveillance and    
   Reconnaissance Agency; 24th Air Force Wing, 67th Network Warfare Wing; the   
   Cryptologic Systems Group; the National Security Agency; and 70 associated   
   units.
