There are no injuries, Hanscom said.<br\/><br\/>Massachusetts State Police later tweeted that a bomb squad has responded to the truck at the gate, and asked news organizations to not fly helicopters over the base until the situation is resolved. <br\/><br\/><\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-smg-jwplayer-video\"><atype-video-jwplayer nostick=\"true\" playlisturl=\"https:\/\/cdn.jwplayer.com\/v2\/playlists\/fCzRqMW8?tags=1fc900e4-2f8f-4be8-9026-aa57020dc1f5\" aspectratio=\"16 \/ 9\" mute autostart=\"false\"><\/atype-video-jwplayer><\/figure>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The State Police later added that the vehicle involved is a moving truck, and that officers have set up a perimeter extending 1,500 feet from the truck in all directions. The police also closed the exit from Route 2A to Hanscom while the situation is ongoing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hanscom is the home of the 66th Air Base Group, which is part of the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, and has 10,000 troops, civilians and contractors stationed there. The 66th also supports about 130,000 retired troops, annuitants and spouses in the New England and New York areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hanscom also hosts three program executive offices \u2014 Command, Control, Communications, Intelligence and Networks; Battle Management; and Nuclear Command Control and Communications. It started as the Bedford Army Air Field in 1942, when Massachusetts leased a newly-built airport near Bedford to the War Department for fighter squadron training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This story is developing story and will be updated as events unfold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Bomb squad, Air Wing at Hanscom AFB,  potentially suspicious truck at gate.
