USADaily - Two people are dead after an active shooter was reported at the Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas, the Bexar County Sheriff's Office said.
Two handguns were found near the bodies of the men, which were inside a building that's used for classrooms and offices, according to Brig. Gen. Robert LaBrutta, who oversees Joint Base San Antonio. He stressed that the shooting was not an act of terrorism, and declined to identify the two, saying their families must be notified first. The Air Force's Office of Special Investigations is leading the investigation, and the FBI is assisting.
The first 911 call about the shooting was made at 8:40 a.m. local time, and base security officers “were in that building within three minutes of that call,” and had found the bodies within eight minutes, General LaBrutta said.
The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office, the San Antonio police and fire departments, and other agencies soon descended on the base. Even after the agencies were confident that the only shooter inside Forbes Hall had been found, the base remained on lockdown as officers completed a room-by-room search.
