A military base in Florida was on lockdown Friday morning amid reports of an active shooter — who was later confirmed dead by authorities.
Shots rang out sometime around 7 a.m. at Naval Air Station Pensacola, which was immediately placed on lockdown.
Around 8:45 a.m., the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office confirmed on Facebook that the shooter was dead.
The US Navy said one additional fatality has been confirmed and that an “unknown number of injured people were being transferred to local hospitals.”
The gunman was shot and killed by deputies at the base, according to Channel 3 News.
The network said Baptist Hospital confirmed it was caring for seven patients related to the shooting.
On Wednesday, an active-duty sailor opened fire at the Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard, killing two and wounding a third before turning the gun on himself.
