Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (US): Wright-Patterson Air Force Base Ohio went to lock for several hours while security officials investigated the shooter report on campus but eventually gave Friday morning all clear.
Two individuals reported hearing one shot at the base on the east of Dayton just after 9pm Thursday, said Col Patrick Miller, the commander of the installation at Wright-Patterson AFB.
The report initiated a series of events that led to locking.
For the next four hours, officials from the 88th Wing Airbase said respondents did two national air and spacecraft sheeps, three-story headquarters, 850,000 square feet for the center described as the main source of foreign departments analyzing air and space threats.
Lockdown was revoked by all-clear announcements around 1:40 a.m.
There was no threat identified and there were no reported injuries, Miller said.
It is not clear whether the sound of the two individuals heard it was a shot.
Miller refused to speculate about what caused the sound.
Nasic strokes involve many people so that respondents can search for the entire building.
“This is not a single main key that gets you to the air center door and the national space intelligence room,” Miller said.
“And it took several people to enter and opened several doors for our security forces to pass and sweep the area.” About 100 people worked in the center at that time, he said.
Everyone comes out safely.
Additional investigations are planned to determine the cause of the sound.
Miller said the people at the facility had been trained for the locking situation, said the two active shooting exercises had been carried out there last year.
