CHEYENNE, Wyo. — Wyoming Air National Guard security forces responded to reports of a suspicious package at the front gate of the 153rd Airlift Wing earlier today, ultimately determining it was not a threat.
First responders determined that the package contained flammable materials. However, it turned out that the package was an authorized shipment to the facility and not a malicious threat to the installation.
“We take all threats seriously and the safety of our members and our community is my upmost priority, and I am relieved that the threat is no longer active,” said Col. Barry Deibert, Commander of the 153 AW. “Again, I am thankful to all the response personnel for their skilled response and professionalism in ensuring our safety.”
