According to police, "shots were fired by American service personnel and a man has been detained with cuts and bruises and taken into custody," while "no other people have been injured as a result of the incident."

The US Airforce RAF Mildenhall military base operates as a USAF transport hub, stationing KC-135 tanker fleet and special operations forces, with about 3,200 military employees and 400-500 local civil personnel.
