Reports of an active shooter sent emergency responders to the hospital at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio on Thursday afternoon. 
A spokesperson for the Air Force base confirmed on Twitter that base emergency responders, including security forces and the fire department, responded to an active shooter incident at a building at the bases hospital at around 12:40 p.m. local time. 
Base personnel have been directed to shelter in place until the incident is investigated, the base said in a second, which was followed by a third.

    I was wondering where all the mass shooters went.
There were SO MANY during the Obama years. Suddenly, when Obama lost his job, most of them stopped.
What a cowinky-dink!

    I know that area and hospital very well.

    Good thing all of our airmen and soldiers on the base are armed so they could easily stop this shooter....

    I thought President Trump recinded that stupid order about not arming the servicemen on a military base. Why doesn’t this creep have 150 bullet holes in him?

     that stupid order about not arming the servicemen on a military base
As a former Marine, I can tell you that the last thing I wanted was allowing everyone on base to be armed. 
Believe me, there are a lot of strange people, even in the Corps.

    Even more of a cowinky-dink. Obama just showed up again in the news and suddenly active shooter. You’re on to something! The ‘to’ is optional ...

    Shelter in place?
On a MILITARY BASE?
What?
Is it a gun free zone and nobody knows how to shoot?

    A lot of people who work on a military base are unarmed.

    WPAFP is near to my front door. Local TV (Channel 7) is confirming this began as a "training exercise" but something went wrong.
