Armed intruders forced Joint Base Andrews into lockdown Sunday night

Two suspects drove through a security checkpoint at Joint Base Andrews on Sunday night near the time Vice President Kamala Harris and four Cabinet members landed at the military facility.

The base, in suburban Maryland and just several miles from the White House, went into lockdown for several hours and an armed 17-year-old was arrested for the intrusion. The other intruder remains at large.

After the two intruders drove through the main checkpoint at the base, authorities stopped their stolen vehicle by putting up "barriers." They then fled. The vehicle and the 17-year-old was apprehended.

The vice president and second gentleman, as well as Education Secretary Miguel Cardona; Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg; Housing Secretary Marcia Fudge and Michael S. Regan, the administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, had just landed at the base on Air Force Two when security was breached. 

The second couple were flown off base on Marine Two. 

Last February, an intruder at Joint Base Andrews boarded a plane used by senior government officials and military leaders, which prompted security authorities to conduct a review of Air Force bases across the globe.
