The bases I've been on lately (and I was on one the day before yesterday) seem to be operating at a higher threatcon.

Can't believe this is happening again--hope it's not like the last one.

Here's a link to NBC coverage http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/washington-navy-yard-site-2013-rampage-locked-down-after-reports-n385656

Shelter in place order is in effect.

Don't anyone say "boo!" please. We are seriously f**ked.

9:35 a.m.: Police vehicles leaving the scene without sirens on. Homeland Security vehicles remain. Some people starting to leave the streets as well.

9:32 a.m.: Delia Goncalves tweets photo from second scene near 3rd and M Streets near Navy Yard

9:20: Metropolitan Police Department source tells Garrett Haake no shots were ever fired. Initial indications are that loud noises frightened someone

9:16 a.m.: No terrorist threat was made on the Navy Yard
