On Wednesday night, a man opened fire outside the main gate of the Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department reported that an unnamed suspect opened fire outside of the main gate of the Nellis Base and then proceeded to point his gun at security officers at the gate.
The move by the suspect prompted the base security on duty to fire back at the suspect, which resulted in the suspect being shot in the leg.
Authorities did not release the name of the suspect but did reveal he was taken to a nearby hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.
Per The Daily Mail:
A gunman opened fire outside of an Air Force base in Nevada linked to Area 51, according to police.
The unknown suspect âfired roundsâ at the main gate of the site and was âbehaving erraticallyâ around 12.30 am Wednesday in Las Vegas, a Nellis AFB spokesperson told the Daily Mail.
