US Naval Academy in Annapolis locked down: Report

The United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland was locked down on Thursday evening and local authorities are investigating threats made at the school. 

The military academy was placed in lockdown after a former student, who had allegedly been kicked out of the school, returned with a weapon, sources told Fox News. It was not immediately clear if anyone had been shot. 

"Naval Support Activity Annapolis (NSAA), in coordination with local law enforcement, is currently responding to reports of threats made to the Naval Academy," NSAA Public Affairs Officer Lt. Naweed Lemar told Fox News. "The base is on lockdown out of an abundance of caution. This is a developing situation and we will provide updates as they become available."

A Naval Academy spokesperson confirmed to U.S. Naval Institute News that authorities are responding to threats, but did not indicate whether there was an active shooter on campus.
