Law enforcement responded to Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas on Friday on reports of an active shooter.
The Bexar County Sheriff posted on Twitter about the reports at 9:50 a.m., ET.

About 25 minutes later, the same account said officials were working to clear the base's buildings.

Soon after, the Sheriff's account said "we have victims" at the still active scene.

I would rather have them carrying weapons than providing them with designated “Shelter in Place” locations, as I saw at Dover AFB a couple of years ago.
The seemed to me something seriously wrong with members of the military running to a bathroom and hiding in it because someone had a gun.
And this poor ‘victim’ is marginalized and upset because of the crusades back in the 1200’s.
He’s such a wicked, awful president, it still simply boggles my mind.
Please give out any and all info that you can regarding this event.
The authorities and media will attempt to spin and manage the flow of info to suit their leftist agenda - it is folks like you who we rely on for the real truth!
[How can Trump use this politically? Thats your first thought?]
How Trump can use this politically TO ENSURE IT WON’T HAPPEN AGAIN was my first thought.
These active shooter events on gun-free military bases
But if you want to stay in your safe-space of political correctness and not face reality, then that’s your prerogative to be offended.
You’ve mentioned sneaking off base before in Japan, as a child. Always a great story!
Individual competition and shows are the most amazing spectacle to behold...I did drum and bugle corps in Brooklyn before entering the Air Force.
I was a snare drummer with Our Lady of Perpetual Help Ridgemen (Chuck Connors was an alumni) and I marched proudly in parades on 5th Avenue.
My drumming turned to jazz and rock after I got out of the Air Force. But I still love the sight and sound of a well-oiled, precision drum and bugle corps. I take it you are also in the know? Were you part of the drum and bugle scene?
Gun free zone?
>> Trump should get out in front of this <<
Unlikely, because Mr. Trump reportedly is in semi-isolation this week, probably undergoing intensive re-education by Consiglieri Manaforte.
>> a Pentagon Ranking Flag Officer stated yesterday that the military doesnt need to carry weapons at all times on Base/Post/Fort. <<
This officer had better hope he gets a promotion before January 20th, because it ain’t gonna happen under President Cruz.
Good thing that our military bases are gun free zones or else people would be able to stop things like this when they happen.

Trump needs to get in front of this. Worth a boost of a few points.
Behold. The Trump machine in action on FR folks.
Santa Clara was awesome when I was following corps. By the way, so was the Hawthorne Muchachos (Hawthorne, New Jersey) in the 60s...
Of course. Its a political opportunity before the dead are even room temperature. At least to Trump supporters
To be fair, Cruz was commenting on Belgium and connecting it to Trump’s comments on NATO before the dead were even removed and identified.
No, ensuring it would not happen was NOT what your thought was. Your thought was points.
Local DFW news just showed a live shot of people still running out of buildings.
Try to control your gleeful opportunism.
That's messed up. Two people are dead and you are more worried about getting points in "polls"?
Unlikely, because Mr. Trump reportedly is in semi-isolation this week, probably undergoing intensive re-education by Consiglieri Manaforte.
Nonsense. I won’t sully this breaking news thread responding to your insult.
Prayers for all the young men and women who are beginning their Air Force careers there.
