Maryland's Joint Base Andrews was placed on lockdown Sunday after a vehicle drove through the security checkpoint at the base and failed to stop for security personnel, officials said.
The whereabouts of the other suspect are unknown at this time, the base said, adding that there was not an active shooter situation. The main gate remained closed as of Sunday evening, the base added.
Harris and several cabinet members had landed at the base following a trip to Selma, Alabama, to mark the 57th anniversary of"Bloody Sunday," Detrow tweeted. Meanwhile, the White House pool that traveled with President Biden over the weekend is still stuck at the base, wrote Los Angeles Times reporter Nolan D. McCaskill.
