FORT HOOD, TX (RNN) – An incident that may include several injuries has been reported at the medical support building on the base of Fort Hood in central Texas Wednesday.
The base is now on lockdown and personnel on base are being asked to "shelter in place," according to the official Fort Hood Twitter account.
KCEN-TV reported an active shooter at Fort Hood when at around 4:30 p.m. CT, and say several injuries have been sustained and one person has been taken to the hospital with injuries.
The status of the gunman is unclear, and it is not known if the shooter is still on base, on post or has left the base.
Meagan Harris of WFAA in Dallas tweeted that Fort Hood officials are confirming an active shooter at the post on Fort Hood.
There is no word on the condition of the victims.
Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan was sentenced to death for killing 13 people and wounding 32 others in a 2009 shooting rampage at Fort Hood – the worst mass murder at a military installation in U.S. history. He was sentenced to death in August 2013.
The shooting took place in Fort Hood's Soldier Readiness Processing Center, where troops were getting medical checkups before deploying to Afghanistan.
