Hunters spark lockdown of Texas nuclear weapons plant

The sheriff's office got a call around 7:20 am from an employee of B&W Pantex who saw two men getting out a vehicle dressed in camouflage and carrying guns a couple miles from the plant.

No charges will be filed in the case and it appears as though the men -- who were hunting on a day off from work -- had permission from the owner of the land to hunt there.
