Guess Why William Beaumont Was Locked Down Last Week?

As you probably heard, William Beaumont Army Medical Center was placed on security lock down last week. Here is why...

William Beaumont Army Medical Center (WBAMC) was locked down for around 3 hours last week after reports of a person with a rifle. It turns out that's not what happened though and the incident is now being a called a "non-event". I really do love government terminology, it makes me feel smart.

According to the El Paso Times, a color guard member returning some equipment, (Flags and flag poles, I assume.), was reported as having "rifle cases" and "cans of ammunition". During the incident, WBAMC officials tweeted the following instructions:

"Do not make any sudden or aggressive movements." "Follow all orders from the clearing team. Instructions are provided once building cleared."

FYI, running and screaming are not part of the protocol!
