Breaking on the news. Got a call from work, trying to account for everyone and making sure that I was at home (it is my every-other-week day off) and not lost somewhere on the Yard – they are on lockdown for another active shooter.
Here is the thread from the last shooting (when I didn’t actually work on the Navy Yard, but rather a couple of blocks away, with a lot of meetings and such at the Yard).
Huh I haven’t gotten a notification yet. Not much detail in the news.
Up on CNN, cops are on the scene but nothing else being reported. Do not have access to TV at work.
Glad you are OK andy, hope there is nothing to it.
I have not gotten the lockdown notice down here in Pax River yet. Last time this happened we went into force protection condition Charlie really quick, and it took a few hours to relax it.
I just got an alert on my phone from the FAA that they are in lockdown and to stay away if you’re on the way or shelter in place.

I’m curious: I’m guessing you work nine 9-hour days and take the tenth day off?
Yep (with one 8 hour day for a nice round 80 hours per two weeks).
As to the shooter, it appears to have been a false alarm, luckily.
I work at NMMC in Bethesda, and we get locked down every now and then. We almost never know why, and they certainly never tell us why.
