Car Forces Its Way Through Gate At Fla. Naval Base
Driver Eventually Shot In Leg, Taken Into Custody

MAYPORT NAVAL STATION, Fla. -- Military police at Mayport Naval Station in northeastern Florida shot a woman after authorities said she sped through a base gate and held a small child with a knife.

Mayport public affairs officer Lt. Brad Fagan said the woman works as a contractor at the base.

After driving through the gate, the woman was pursued down to the docks, where she got out in front of a base cafe, holding a boy about 3 or 4 years of age and a knife, Fagan said.

Fagan said a military police officer pepper-sprayed the woman, who let go of the child and then lunged at the officer. Fagan said the MP then shot the woman in the leg.

The woman was flown to Shands Hospital in Jacksonville. Fagan said she was in the custody of the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office. No one else hurt.

Asked if the incident raised security concerns about the possibility of a terrorist driving through the gate in a similar manner, Fagan acknowledged that it was a concern.

She must have either been insane or high on drugs....but thank God she wasn't a terrorist.

I'm monitoring my police scanner, and there are ambulances and police currently enroute to some poor sap that picked a fight with the wrong guy at Taco Mac. The 911 dispatcher just told paramedics the guy was "slammed into the concrete" several times by a 300 lb man :eek:

She could have been a protestor! Some of them will go to great lengths to make their cause known. I hope she gets sent away for life for endangering a child.
