Authorities say two men were shot by security officers after they drove a stolen car through a gate at an Air Force base outside Phoenix during a police chase.

The crash occurred at the entrance to Luke Air Force Base in Glendale, outside Phoenix. The base trains pilots to fly F-16s.

Base spokesman Capt. Jerry Gonzalez said the pair allegedly stole a car and drove through a security gate as they attempted to flee from authorities.

Gonzalez said base security forces set up a roadblock. As the driver tried to run it, security officers fearing for their safety opened fire.

5 will get you 10 the SPs and the AF will be lambasted about using "unnecessary" deadly force.

How many rounds were fired by the SPS's? Maybe they need more range practice. Why only one perp kia?

Man who drove through Luke AFB gates faces murder charge

The 19-year-old Glendale man who drove a stolen car through the gates of Luke Air Force Base last week likely entered the base by mistake, police said Monday.

The driver, identified as Gabriel Aguilera, is being treated at a local hospital for non-life threatening injuries.

A security guard opened fire on the vehicle as it drove through the base, killing a 16-year-old male passenger and severely injuring Aguilera.

Aguilera has been charged with murder, aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, felony flight and motor vehicle theft, said Officer Karen Gerardo, a spokeswoman for the Glendale Police Department. She said Aguilera is charged with murder because his passenger died during the course of a felony offense.

A search of court records shows Aguilera has no criminal record in Arizona, though he ran away from home several times as a minor.

Aguilera and the 16-year old passenger are believed to be connected to another stolen vehicle that Maricopa County sheriff's deputies pulled over minutes earlier near Litchfield and Cactus roads.

Gerardo said the teenagers likely entered the military base by mistake as they fled from law enforcement. "They were probably just trying to get away," she said.
