Ohio’s Wright-Patterson Air Force Base has been put on lockdown to investigate reports of a shooter on the campus. The 88th Airbase Wing tweeted that security was searching a building.
The lockdown was repeatedly announced over loudspeakers Thursday night at the base just east of Dayton. Stacey Geiger, spokeswoman for the base, said a report of a shooter came in at 9:25 p.m.
Over the next four hours, officials from the 88th Airbase Wing said responders conducted two sweeps of the National Air and Space Intelligence Center, a three-story, 850,000-square-foot headquarters for the center described as the Department of Defense’s primary source for foreign air and space threat analysis.
The lockdown was lifted with the announcement of an all-clear around 1:40 a.m. Base officials haven’t commented on what prompted the report of a shooter or whether any shots were actually fired. Spokespeople said they would provide more information when it’s available. A media briefing was expected. The base had said in an earlier tweet as the situation was developing that “All of our military and civilian employees are trained to quickly assess the situation and take appropriate action.”
