Two Shot at Arizona Air Force Base

Security guards shot two men, killing one and wounding the other, after they tried to drive a stolen car through the gates to an Air Force base as they tried to evade police officers who were in pursuit. So far, the reports don't make this sound like an act of terrorism, simply the tragic result of a crime and a subsequent act of stupidity. And it seems like the security officers responded promptly. Still, after last week's plane crash in Texas, it's a disturbing attempted breach of security. I'm not sure what the men in the car must have been thinking. An Air Force base is not likely to provide much of a haven for people in flight from law enforcement. But perhaps they weren't thinking at all.
