No one was hurt, and the event ended peacefully at the sensitive and highly-guarded Air Force base in Colorado.
After the building had been evacuated, negotiators talked with the intruder over a period of 10 hours before he surrendered.
The only details about the intruder released so far are that he is a 21 year old active-duty officer in the Air Force and facing discharge due to legal action in civil court against him. No details for the reason or type of discharge have been offered, nor has his name been released.
