NAS JAX, Fla. – All the gates at Naval Station Mayport are reopened, as there is no threat to personnel or the base, officials said.
An elderly retired couple authorized to access the base did not understand the gate sentry’s orders and continued driving, triggering the base’s security forces.
The base has resumed normal operations.
