Tony, an engineer on the Arsenal, told UNILAD:
We received notifications that there was a active shooter situation around 10:30am. Our security has us locked in our offices, though I’m across the street from where the situation is said to occur.
We have a call-tree so that I contacted the people below me in the tree and report it up the line. Everyone is accounted for in my area.

My staff and I are monitoring situation at Redstone Arsenal. Please join me in praying for the safety of everyone on base.
