Just after 10 a.m., Brian O'Rourke, PAO Navy Region Southwest, said K9 units were sweeping the military medical center, honing in on Building 26, the site of the reported gunfire.

“The investigation of Building 26 continues. First responders and Navy working dog units have conducted an initial top down inspection of the Building and have not located any casualties or evidence of a shooting having taken place. There have been no reported casualties at this time. There is a secondary, more thorough floor by floor inspection taking place at this time. The medical facility remains on lockdown and a shelter in place order remains in effect.”
