Suspect apprehended after DC military base went on lockdown over report of 'armed individuals'

Suspect apprehended after DC military base went on lockdown over report of 'armed individuals': A military base in Washington, DC, was locked down for several hours Friday amid an armed intruder — and troops were warned to “prepare to fight” — before the suspect was apprehended, authorities said. Around 12:30 p.m., a frantic post on Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling‘s Facebook page read, “LOCKDOWN LOCKDOWN LOCKDOWN” and warned that an armed person had been spotted on the south side of the base complex. “If you encounter the individual and have a safe route, RUN. If you do not have a safe route to run, HIDE,” the base said. “Barricade your door, turn off the lights and your cell phone ringer, and remain silent. If you are hiding, prepare to FIGHT.”
