Lackland is a basic training facility for the Air Force.
In 2009, Fort Hood, which is about 160 miles from Lackland Air Force Base, was the site of the deadliest shooting at a U.S. military base, when 13 people were killed and 31 were injured.
CBS affiliate KENS-TV reported that the base as well as three nearby schools were on lockdown.
