CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — UPDATE (10:15 a.m. Tuesday): Naval Air Stateion-Corpus Christi Public Affairs Officer Francoise "Fifi" Kieschnick tells KRIS 6 News in a Monday email that the gate was closed after a vehicle refused to turn around after being instructed to do so at the gate but security, and instead proceeded toward the base. The vehicle was ultimately stopped by the base's final security barricade. Both gates now are operating normally.
