“NAS Pensacola Navy Security Forces and local law enforcement entities are responding to an active shooter situation March 6 onboard Corry Station,” the base said in a post.

Reports say a call came in that three shots were fired. Escambia County Sheriffs swept the building but found no sign of an active shooter.

No injuries are currently reported.

The main and west gates were closed. There is a large law enforcement response, and Escambia County Fire and Rescue responded.
