Luke Air Force Base is on high alert after two men who crashed through the front gate late Monday night in a stolen car were shot, killing one and wounding the other, according to base officials.
Base spokesman Capt. Jerry Gonzalez said the pair allegedly stole a car and 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.
Luke Air Force Base is located in Glendale, Ariz., outside Phoenix, and is used to train pilots to fly F-16 fighter jets.
In the meantime a report says that a person who was riding a stolen car was killed and another injured when they didn’t stop at a security check point in Luke Air Force Base. A report says that “The car went through the entrance without stopping as required and security forces then used a vehicle to set up a roadblock on a bridge leading to the operational side of the base, near Glendale, Capt. Jerry Gonzalez, a spokesman for the base, told msnbc.com”.

Senate Vote on Health Care Reform, Invoking the memory of Edward M. Kennedy, the Democrats together Saturday night to advance historical health legislation beyond a key hurdle in the Senate because of opposition from Republicans eager to inflict a punishing defeat to President, Barack Obama. There was a vote to spare.
The 60-39 vote cleared the way for the bruising, wide debate beginning after Thanksgiving in the legislation, which is designed to extend coverage to approximately 31 million who lack it, ending the practices of the Company insurance to deny or dilute the benefits and reduce the growth of spending on health care nationwide.
The spectator galleries were full for the unusual Saturday night showdown, and applause broke out briefly when the vote was announced. In a measure of the significance of the moment, senators sat quietly in their seats, standing only when they were called upon to vote.
In the final minutes of a daylong session, Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., accused Republicans of trying to stifle a historic debate the nation needed.
“Imagine if, instead of debating whether to abolish slavery, instead of debating whether giving women and minorities the right to vote, those who disagreed had muted discussion and killed any vote,” he said.
The Republican leader, Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, said the vote was anything but procedural – casting it as a referendum on the bill itself, which he said would raise taxes, cut Medicare and create a “massive and unsustainable debt.”
For all the drama, the result of the Saturday night showdown had been sealed a few hours earlier, when two final Democratic holdouts, Sens. Mary Landrieu of Louisiana and Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas, announced they would join in clearing the way for a full debate.
“It is clear to me that doing nothing is not an option,” said Landrieu, who won $100 million in the legislation to help her state pay the costs of health care for the poor.
Marjorie Orbin | Jay Orbin : The murder trial of a former Las Vegas stripper will continue outside of Phoenix after all. Marjorie Orbin is accused of first-degree murder, fraud and theft in the death of her husband, a 45-year-old art dealer.
Orbin allegedly killed her husband and cut him up in pieces with an electric jigsaw. She then apparently disposed of his body in the Arizona desert. Only a piece of Mr. Orbin;s torso and part of one rib was ever found.
Marjorie Orbin’s prosecution has been hindered by a series of legal snafus and blunders by Maricopa County authorities.
