According to the FBI, "the incredible acts of heroism by the NASCC Military Policewoman guarding the entrance to the base, saved many lives yesterday". The active duty U.S. Navy military police officer stationed at the Ocean Drive gate has probably checked thousands of IDs and allowed access to thousands of authorized people at NAS Corpus Christi. On the morning of May 21, 2020 a terrorist tried to get past her. That terrorist, Adam Salem Alsahli picked the wrong gate guard to try to get past. He shot her point blank in the chest and then attempted to drive onto the base. He didn't get far. She took the bullet dead center in her chest, but was saved by her Kevlar vest, which had a steel, ceramic-coated plate over her sternum designed to protect the heart and vital organs. The impact knocked her off of her feet however despite her obvious pain she quickly got right back up and hit the emergency button that activated a very strong pop up barricade, which stopped and disabled the terrorist’s vehicle. Then, as he was going for a rifle he brought with him, she shot him back. He never made it past the gate as her shots killed him.

At least the top brass allows guards to carry loaded weapons. I remember standing guard with nightsticks or, at best, an unloaded rifle.

Good for her. A badass female warrior. It is one in a thousand but she deserves a lot of credit.

Job well done by the heroic young lady in recovering and raising the barricade stopping the terrorist from entering but according to other news reports the terrorist was killed by other security personnel, not her.

I think that gate has a manned pass & id center next to it so there shoulda been other offices around. Good job by whoever

Obey lawful commands. Video interactions. Hold bad cops accountable. Problem solved.

yeah, and the gal is right nice too. If he is worth shooting, he's worth shooting multiple times.

Good job Soldier, job well done.
A gun in the hand is worth more than the entire police force on the phone.
