The man who showed up to a San Diego naval base with bomb-making materials in his pickup truck on Tuesday was a sailor, a spokesperson for the base said. Around 9 a.m., an unidentified driver approached the North Island Naval Air Station entrance in Coronado. He was stopped by security officials at the request of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, spokesperson Kevin Dixon explained. The loose bomb-making materials had not been assembled into a weapon. Dixon clarified that people near the main gate, not on the entire base, were subsequently evacuated. The gate reopened roughly five hours later. The sailor remained in custody as of Tuesday afternoon, with the Naval Criminal Investigative Service declining to share details on him or any charges.
