"U.S. Park Police and Metropolitan Police Department officers are responding to Navy Yard where buildings are on lockdown and roads are closed. There are no casualties at this time.

Police cars were seen with sirens on rushing to the scene.

An employee inside Navy Yard reports that alarms are sounding and the buildings are on lock-down."

Latest update to that page:

"8:16 a.m.: Media relocated further from scene as law enforcement suit up to go in to sweep building. WUSA9's Delia Goncalves describes scene as "pretty chaotic.""

Its all over CNN right now.

"The FBI's National Capital Response Squad and the Washington, D.C., Metropolitan Police Department are responding to an incident at the Washington Navy Yard."

http://abcnews.go.com/US/washington-navy-yard-lockdown-active-shooter-report/story?id=32177500

" The Washington Navy Yard was placed on lockdown this morning following reports of an "active shooter" at the scene."

<snip>

"A defense official told ABC News that the situation is based on a report of a "suspicious person." While nothing has been confirmed, the report is being taken seriously given a previous shooting at the Navy Yard two years ago. "

CNN shows more police cars than I can count there right now.

ETA: White House has just closed to Tourists because of this as per CNN live on TV.

AP - "Shots reported in building on Washington Navy Yard campus, lockdown underway, spokesman says."

http://www.timesdaily.com/news/nati...cle_3650c5e2-20b5-11e5-9fd8-8f0fce1cd2e6.html

"An official says shots have been reported in a building on the Washington Navy Yard campus.

Navy spokesman Petty Officer 1st Class Pedro Rodriguez says a lockdown is underway."

(Witness on CNN says he did NOT hear shots but says he didn't her them initially back in the 2013 shooting either. Says he heard "get out of the building, stay out of the cafeteria".)
 
CNN anchor asking military personnel who was in the building and is still at the scene whether this is happening at the same building as the shooting in 2013 - "Yes, it is".
 
"Phone call placed to 911, someone reported a shooting occurred on the second floor of a building there" - as per CNN live on TV

"they have searched that building and nothing has been found and no-one has been shot, building 197 where the previous [2013] shooting had happened, so far they haven't found anyone, nobody has been shot" - CNN live on TV
 
This where 12 people were shot dead in 2013. :(

Lockdown at #NavyYard with Homeland Security, DC, Metro Transit, US Park, and Capitol Police all on the scene.
 
(So someone called 911, so far no shooter found, nobody shot found, evacuation happening, TONS of LE there... leaving -- what exactly? -- in Washington, DC without as much protection. What if this is a diversion so something else can go down? Just sayin..)
 
USATODAY: RT wusa9: UPDATE: DC Fire officials say everyone at Washington #NavyYard is accounted for. This on top of no injuries reported.
 
(is it too soon to suggest maybe LE all converged there because they heard Tillie was handing out baked goods and hamburgers?)

Police just went storming into a building along M St, outside of the #NavyYard.

Prayers this isn't the case! Valid point though.....
 
I worry it may be an attempt to get lots of first responders in one place for purposes of causing the most harm to that group of individuals.

Praying this resolves with no violence.

#Breaking: Police are evacuating area near 300 M Street in SE #DC.

CNN live on tv says media is being urged to move away from the building

Yep exactly, me too. Been tweeting that like mad at all the people complaining that it was a hoax. I dont think "hoax" is right. Diversion maybe. Test run maybe. Not "hoax", as in "practical joke that is funny for somebody". Not for a second.

We've been warned repeatedly the past few days that the US is on terror alert, highest level since 9/11.

I feel it would be foolhardy at best to dismiss this as a hoax so fast. JMO
