An Army colonel at Fort Leonard Wood says the gunman who broke onto base yesterday and then led police on a rolling shootout down I-44 was not targeting the military installation. Post commander Col. Charles Williams says 31-year-old Cody Willcoxson got lost in the construction on the interstate before turning into the fort. Willcoxson drove through a security gate, setting off a four-hour chase and manhunt that led to the lockdown of the Missouri S & T campus before he was captured. Willcoxson is facing felony charges of assaulting an officer, resisting arrest and armed criminal action, and more charges are expected to be filed.
