(35 minutes later)
At least one person has been killed at the Lackland Air Force Base near San Antonio, Texas. The base is on lockdown, and the shooter is still active, according to Bexar County Sheriff’s department. Two people have been found dead at the Lackland Air Force Base near San Antonio, Texas, in what appeared to be a murder-suicide, according to Bexar County Sheriff’s department.
Bexar County Sheriff said there were “victims” at the scene. Deputies have found two victims, Bexar County Sheriff's Department spokesman James Keith told reporters. Currently they believe that the shooter is one of the victims.“It does appear to be a murder-suicide situation,” Keith said. “We do believe that the shooter is accounted for.”
Law enforcement is still searching the building, trying to gain access to several locked rooms and check if there are any further victims.“We don’t believe the shooter is still active,” Keith said.
Though Keith would not confirm which building was the crime scene, reports from the base indicated the shooting happened at the Medina Annex, the western portion of the main base.
The Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland confirmed a “real world active shooter situation” in a statement on Friday morning, but said “there have been no injuries confirmed at this time.”“All schools and child development centers are currently locked down,” the statement said.
The initial police report of a shooting came in at 8:45 local time – 9:45 a.m. Eastern time. Around 8 a.m. the base hosted a graduation parade of the Air Force’s basic military training class.
As one USAF Security Forces member explained on Twitter, Medina Annex is where the Security Forces, targeting specialists and foreign nationals train, and it is on the other side of the base from where the Basic Military Training takes place.
