Officials with Redstone Arsenal have confirmed reports of there being an ‘active shooter’ and that the area is currently on lock down.
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.
Marshall Space Flight Center (NASA), which is also located in Redstone, is also on lockdown.
Tony continued:
There was a drill planned. We’re still on lockdown 1.5 hours in.
