A woman claiming to have explosives in her car is parked outside Joint Base Andrews. President Donald Trump was set to take off from the base Wednesday morning.

Security and an Air Force bomb squad is currently on the scene, where a woman is reportedly making threats and refusing to leave the west gate, claiming to be armed with explosives. The woman, who remains unidentified, appears to be driving a Lexus SUV.

No injuries have been reported and the suspect has not been identified.

Update (9:30 a.m.): While the all-clear has been given, police remain on the scene to investigate.

At this time, it has not been confirmed whether or not the woman is legitimately armed with explosives.

Joint Base Andrews is a United States military facility located in Prince George’s County, Maryland. The facility is under the jurisdiction of the United States Air Force 11th Wing, Air Force District of Washington. The base was built in 1945.

This is not the first time that a dangerous incident has occurred at Joint Base Andrews, as the base was locked down due to a report of an active shooter in June 2016.
