The aircraft are used for training future crew chiefs, which is a large part of the mission at Sheppard AFB. Pictured are USAF C-141 “Starlifter” aircraft; KC-135 “Stratotanker” aircraft; EC-135 “Looking Glass aircraft; C-130 “Hercules” aircraft; A-10 “Thunderbolt II” aircraft, F-111 “Aardvark” aircraft; F-15 “Eagle” aircraft; and a F-16 “ Fighting Falcon” aircraft.

An air force base in San Antonio, Texas was on lockdown Friday after a shooting left two people dead, authorities said.

The killings were apparently a murder-suicide, US media reported, citing local law enforcement.

Deputies were still inside the building at Lackland Air Force Base, the Bexar County Sheriff said in a tweet.

Schools and daycare centers in the area were also placed on lockdown, according to a Facebook post from Joint Base San Antonio, which includes Lackland as well as other military bases in the area.

The deadliest shooting at a US military base took place in Fort Hood, Texas in 2009, when army psychiatrist Major Nidal Hasan killed 13 people and wounded 42 before being overpowered by police.
