Reports are that SWAT has arrived on the scene, a command post has been established and police are conducting building searches.

    Starting to look like a hoax. Still too early to call, though.

      Some smart ass punk thinks this is funny imho!

      No one in custody. The cops were just searching people. Complete false alarm. No shots, no gunman.

        So now we’ll soon see B. Hussein 0bama bawl while reading from his teleprompter calling for false alarm control laws?

    Hopefully it ends quietly for everyone but the perp, with luck the perp is DRT’ed.

    “The sounds were heard in the basement of Building 26, which houses offices and barracks for wounded sailors and Marines as well as a gym, said spokesman Mike Alvarez.”

    This is why you don’t slam the weights.

    Waiting for Obama to shed a tear and call for more gun control because of this in 3…2…1

        It would be best if you would just say what you feel about him and stop sugar coating it.

    False alarm, thankfully.

    I love the tweet for occupants to “run, hide or fight” in that order.

      I sent a link to Jonn a few weeks back that talked about that. That is the current protocol for an active shooter situation: run if you can, hide if you must, and fight as a last resort. Basically, it approaches it from the standpoint that the people being addressed have no training in survival/self-defense.

        I wish I was able to defend myself here at work, but it is a fed building. If I could carry, I would. I work Admin/customer service, so the best I can do is make it extremely difficult to get past me to the rest of the folks here. Most of them don’t have that extra training, so they do rely on “run, hide or fight”. At least I have wasp spray and a “panic” alarm LOL.

    “Run, hide or fight.” See, everyone in the building said, pretty much in unison, “What do we do now?” Some E2 said, “I know! Let’s check social media!” And that’s what they did. The rest, as they say, is social media history. Thank goodness for Twitter and Facebook. Without them, the boys and girls at the SD Med Center would still be standing around wondering what to do.

    I don’t think it’s a bad ideal to hide, since you’re in a hospital with no weapons and on base.

      There are plenty of weapons in a hospital, one just has to be creative.
