The base is one of America's most sensitive military sites - but has been breached several times since 2021 Nobody was hurt in the incident and it has been speculated the gunfire could have been warning shots.

'No injuries nor property damage reported.' Joint Base Andrews is one of the country's most sensitive military sites. It houses the presidential fleet of aircraft and also serves as a base for 'doomsday' Boeing 747 jets that can be used as airborne command centers in the event of nuclear war.

The security scare on Sunday is not the first time the base has been breached. In February 2021 a man got through the military checkpoint onto the installation and climbed into a C-40, which is the military's 737-equivalent aircraft used to fly government officials. The unauthorized man was able to enter the base, roam freely for five hours and then board an aircraft. That intruder was apprehended because the 'mouse ears' cap he was wearing struck an observant airman as odd. An inspector general's investigation found three main security failings, starting with 'human error' by a gate security guard who allowed the man to drive onto the base even though he had no credentials that authorized his access. The latest breach follows rising security concerns after a suspected spy balloon from China was shot down on Saturday off the coast of North Carolina Hours later, the man walked undetected onto the flight line by slipping through a fence designed to restrict entry. Finally, he walked onto and off a parked airplane without being challenged, even though he was not wearing a required badge authorizing access to the restricted area. In March last year an armed teenager was apprehended at Joint Base Andrews after driving a stolen vehicle through a checkpoint and to the base main gate. The 17-year-old breached the grounds shortly before Vice President Kamala Harris arrived but officials said she was not impacted by the incident. The latest security breach follows rising security concerns after a suspected spy balloon from China was shot down on Saturday off the coast of North Carolina. The aircraft had spent several days flying over military sites in North America. A second suspected spy balloon was then spotted over Latin America on Friday.
