Possible Active Shooter at Alabama Military Installation
Update- Authorities say no injuries reported as of now.
The Redstone Arsenal in Alabama is cautioning people about a possible active shooter and is currently under lockdown.
A lockdown was in place at a military arsenal in Alabama Tuesday, with its Twitter account calling it a “possible active shooter” and urging people on the base to “run hide fight” in a tweet.
A spokesman for Redstone Arsenal told Huntsville, Alabama, NBC affiliate WAFF-TV that there was possibly an active shooting.
An alert from the Marshall Space Flight Center said “situation exists near the Sparkman Center, RSA bldg. 5301,” according to WAFF.
A drill for active shooters was scheduled for this week but Redstone says it’s unrelated to the current situation. This story will be updated as more information becomes available.
