ISTANBUL (AA) - Law enforcement and Navy security forces responded Thursday to reports of gunshots at Naval Air Station (NAS) Pensacola’s Corry Station in the state of Florida.

No injuries or evidence of an active shooter were found, said officials.

Initial reports indicated three gunshots were heard in a building on the base, prompting a swift lockdown and response.

“NAS Pensacola Navy Security Forces and local law enforcement entities are responding to an active shooter situation,” the base wrote on X.

Escambia County Sheriff Chip Simmons told reporters that a thorough sweep of the building found no signs of a shooter or injuries.

“We have zero injuries, but we are double-checking and clearing the building once again,” said Simmons.

A 2019 shooting at the base killed three Navy sailors and injured eight others, including civilians and law enforcement officers.
