Authorities find no sign of shooter after responding to Naval Air Station Pensacola's Corry Station
Authorities responded Thursday to a potential active shooter situation at a military base in Pensacola, Florida, but found no signs of a shooter. No injuries were reported.
The Escambia County Sheriff's Office and other agencies responded to reports of shots being fired at a building at Naval Air Station Pensacola's Corry Station, the sheriff's office said in a statement to CBS affiliate WKRG-TV.
The sheriff's office, Pensacola Police Department and Navy police responded to the location and found no signs of an active shooter after sweeping the building.
Authorities were conducting another check of the building out of caution, Escambia County Sheriff Chip Simmons told reporters.
"We want to make sure that we've cleared the entire building, closets, hallways, everything," Simmons said.
Officials later said on social media a sweep was conducted throughout the base.
"They have reported that there are no signs of an active shooter, and the area is determined ALL CLEAR," officials said.
Base gates were closed during the law enforcement response, but officials said on social media that some gates were being reopened to people with Defense Department identification cards.
