The Pentagon confirmed an active shooter at Joint Base Andrews on Thursday, as the base directed its personnel to shelter in place.
A drill scheduled for Thursday morning had been cancelled and the base was calling the situation a "real world threat," according to Dylan Kuckolls, a senior airman and public information officer at JBA.
Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson called the incident an "unfolding situation."
The FBI was actively monitoring the situation.
UPDATED @ 10:10 AM
No active shooter was found at Joint Base Andrews, law enforcement officials said Thursday, and a lockdown on most areas of the base was lifted a little more than an hour after it began.
"'All Clear' for the base with the exception of Malcolm Grow medical facility," JBA tweeted from its account.
