Gunman opens fire on secretive Air Force base home to Area 51

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A gunman opened fire outside of an Air Force base in Nevada linked to Area 51, according to police.

The unknown suspect 'fired rounds' at the main gate of the site and was 'behaving erratically' around 12.30am Wednesday in Las Vegas, a Nellis AFB spokesperson told the Daily Mail.

Security officers then 'challenged the suspect who pointed his firearm at them,' the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police said.

The alleged gunman was shot in the leg and taken to a hospital for non-life threatening injuries after a tourniquet was applied.

Following the incident, Nellis Air Force Base took to Facebook saying its main gate will be temporarily closed 'until further notice'.

In the meantime, another entrance has been opened to 'alleviate traffic flow'. The base will announce when the main gate is reopened.

There is no threat to the public and the investigation is ongoing, officials said.

Area 51 is a highly classified Air Force facility located within the Nevada Test and Training Range, which falls under the broader jurisdiction of Nellis Air Force Base.

While both sites are used for testing classified aircraft and weapons, Area 51 is a remote, secretive part of the military complex, far from the main base gates in Las Vegas.

3 ...The neighborhood near the Nellis main gate ain't the greatest in the world (wonder if the 25 Club is still there? Best wings on the planet.) so there's a fair chance this was a local blasted out of his mind. 72 hour rule applies here, I think.
