Wright Patterson Air Force Base has been locked down after reports of a shooting in the medical center. WHIO-TV reports that an armed person is barricaded inside of the base’s hospital. There has been no confirmation of any shots fired or of any injuries. Reports of the shooting first came through at 12:40 p.m. on August 2. The base is located 10 miles east of downtown Dayton. Law enforcement officers from “multiple agencies” are on scene. WCPO’s Evan Millward reports that all local law enforcement were later told to leave the scene because the FBI was taking over.

A nearby college, Wright State, tweeted at 1:40 p.m. that the “incident has been contained.” Between military personnel and civilian employees, there are about 27,000 people on base.
