According to multiple news reports, the Naval Medical Center in San Diego is currently on lockdown after reports of an active shooter in the facility.
According to a Facebook post from the medical center’s account:
**!ATTENTION!** An active shooter has just been been reported in building #26 at Naval Medical Center San Diego. All occupants are advised to run, hide or fight. All non-emergency response personnel are asked to stay away from the compound, located at 34800 Bob Wilson Drive, San Diego, CA 92134

Military police are still attempting to get the situation under control and are apparently focusing their attention on the basement of the facility in a room that appears to be a gym.
It is also worth noting that, according to a base spokesman, the facility conducted a “code-white drill” also known as an “active shooter drill.”
At this time, the situation is still ongoing.
According to Paul Farrell of Heavy.com,
Non-emergency personnel have been advised to stay away from the building, reports ABC San Diego. Amanda Shotsky, a reporter with CW6 San Diego who was on scene, described no “sense of fear” but a “sense of urgency among police on scene.” The base is the jurisdiction of military police who are co-ordinating with local and federal agencies. NBC San Diego reports that two California Highway Patrol officers were seen entering the medical center at around 8:30 a.m. local time. Officer John Perryman told the San Diego Union-Tribune‘s Phillip Molnar that there is a “minimumn of 100” cops at the hospital.
