Overview
- Officials said non-lethal rounds were used Friday to deter a car moving toward a barricade near the Base Alameda gate, and the vehicle left without further incident.
- The response came a day after security personnel opened fire on a U-Haul that reversed toward them at the Coast Guard Island checkpoint during protests, prompting a brief lockdown.
- DHS said the U-Haul driver was shot in the stomach and a bystander was hit by a fragment and released, while KTVU later reported the driver was struck by shrapnel and the bystander was the person shot and still hospitalized.
- After treatment, the driver was arrested; DHS said the FBI is not leading the case, but KTVU reported the driver was taken into FBI custody following hospital discharge.
- The base reopened early Friday as inquiries proceed into both incidents tied to demonstrations over federal immigration operations and a proposed troop deployment.
