Via Twitter, the United States Navy requested that anyone in the yard seek shelter.
“I am not aware of any specific threats,” Navy Capt. Chuck Nash (Ret.) told Fox News. Now it seems as if there was never any real danger.
There was a swift and heavy police response that began blocks away from the sprawling facility, which is about a half mile from the U.S. Capitol. Reports of the shooting occurred after news that the FBI was establishing command centers around the country to monitor any potential terrorist threats around the July 4 weekend.
