Overview
- Barksdale ordered two separate lockdowns on Friday, resolving an early-morning active-threat alert before a second lockdown in the early afternoon.
- The second lockdown began when a man shot in the 1200 block of Gibson Circle drove a short distance, crashed through a fence and crossed onto the base golf course.
- Bossier City police and base emergency personnel secured the scene and violent-crime investigators responded while the wounded man was taken to Ochsner LSU Health with life‑threatening injuries.
- Police say the shooter has not been located and is not on the installation, and base officials reported no injuries to Team Barksdale.
- Lockdowns were lifted after the area was cleared, and the incident highlights risks where residential streets back up to base property and may prompt reviews of perimeter and response procedures.
