Naval Air Station North Island Placed on Brief Lockdown After Security Incident
Naval Air Station North Island was placed on a brief lockdown late last night due to a security incident that is currently under investigation.
The gate at Naval Base Coronado was closed after an individual attempted to drive through it without clearance at around 10 pm.
According to security guards, the driver was asked to slow down but instead sped up, prompting the guards to shoot at the vehicle.
Fortunately, no one was injured in the incident.
As of this morning, the Coronado Police Department is still redirecting traffic, and no one is being allowed inside.
Officers have been stationed at the gate throughout the night, telling people to enter from First Street and Alameda instead.
It is unclear how long the officers will continue to redirect traffic.
The Naval Criminal Investigative Service has taken over the case, and more information is expected to be released as the investigation progresses.
