Alabama Air Force base security incident ends with one person dead, three in the hospital

One person was killed in a "tragic confrontation" Maxwell Air Force Base in Montgomery, Alabama, on Saturday, and three people were taken to a hospital, a spokesperson for the base said. 

Lakiesha McCall told WSFA that she was walking into the Gunter Annex with her family when a man got out of his car, charged at them, pushed her sister and mom, then started banging her head against a wall before security eventually shot and killed him. 

"I didn’t know if it was me shot. I didn’t know if it was him, the guy. I don’t know his name. I didn’t know if it was the guard. But all I know is once I made it to the door I looked and I had blood all over my hands. It was on my head. I didn’t know. I didn’t know who was shot," McCall told WSFA. 

"And in that moment, like I said, I was just so terrified and scared because after the fact of him like beating me hitting my head to the wall, I literally thought he was going to kill me."

Two Air Force security officers and one civilian were taken to a local hospital, Lt. Col. Kim Bender told Fox News. 

"The other civilian’s injuries were fatal," Bender said.
