The U.S. Navy said that an active shooter at Naval Air Station Corpus Christi in Texas was "neutralized" early Thursday (May 21) morning. The base was put on lockdown after there were reports of shots fired around 6:15 a.m. CT near the north gate.
"If you are in or near the North Gate get out and away to safety," the base posted on Facebook. "Execute lockdown procedures — remain indoors and away from windows."
Authorities said one member of the Naval Security Forces was injured in the shooting but did not release information about the extent of their injuries.
The Naval Criminal Investigative Service is on the scene working with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the FBI, and local law enforcement. Officials have not released the identity of the shooter or the motive for their attack.
