Wichita Falls Not the Only Military Base That Had Issues Yesterday

Yesterday the Missile Gate entrance at Sheppard Air Force Base was closed due to an 'ongoing incident under investigation'.

In case you missed it yesterday around 10AM, Sheppard Air Force Base released the following statement.

Around two hours later, the base gave the all clear that the Missile Gate entrance was all good. What everyone wants to know today is, what happened? Some outlets are reporting that a laundry truck was allegedly filled with explosives. I do not know how credible that report is from the Express News, but you can read it here if you would like. A credible source for military news is Stars and Stripes, who are not reporting anything about an explosive truck, however Wichita Falls was not the only major incident yesterday.
