Shooting at Washington Navy Yard

A lockdown was underway Thursday morning across the Washington Navy Yard campus after reports of shots fired, but a senior law enforcement official said those reports had not been confirmed.

No injuries have been reported, said the official, who was receiving detailed briefings but spoke on condition of anonymity because the person was not authorized to discuss developments with reporters.

The building is the same one where a gunman killed a dozen workers in a rampage two years ago, according to a second official — a federal one who spoke on condition of anonymity for lack of authorization to discuss details publicly.

Navy security saw surveillance video of two people jumping the fence in the vicinity of the building a couple of minutes before the first report of gunfire, the federal official said. (AP)
