Naval Air Station lifts lockdown, says 'no threats' of active shooter on base

Naval Air Station Whidbey Island in Washington state has been given the all-clear after going on lockdown over reports of an active shooting situation on base.

Naval Air Station Whidbey Island in Washington state was on lockdown Wednesday afternoon over reports of an "active shooter threat" at an on-base location. 

The station’s base security responded to the location north of Oak Harbor just before 4:30 p.m. The lockdown was lifted around 6:30 p.m., and operations are resuming as normal, a spokesperson said. 

"Base security responded to the location and cleared all locations and found no threats," a spokesperson told Fox News Digital. 

Base personnel at Ault Field were ordered into lockdown status earlier, and all gates were closed over reports of an "active shooter threat."
