changed there at the navy yard since 2013? reporter: really about u.s. installations across the country. this was imposed in the middle of may. so even before the higher alert as we approach the july 4th holiday and that s what they call describing earlier threat level bravo. and then there s delta. delta means there s an attack underway. i m not aware they ve called den eded delta for the navy yard right now. but many of the things they re doing fall under that. and that is shelter in place.
of naval employees work. that s where some intelligence activity happens and just other sort of functions of the u.s. navy. this is not the pentagon. this is the navy yard which is a sprawling facility in the southeastç corner of washington. but you re right, those memories of that 2013 shooting with that contractor who was able to enter the building there and we have no idea if it s a similar situation or not. several things have changed since that happened of course in twirtd. 2013. the workers we ve been able to speak to so far hearsay they re certainly on edge with that so fresh in their mind. but again we are not sure if it s a similar situation. police quite frankly aren t saying. they re trying to determine exactly what is going on the anything inside. looking at the scene outside, we can see swarms of police officers, some look like they re in some form of riot gear.
we again don t have any details as far as possible injuries. but we are hearing that law enforcement are making their way or they are on scene after this report of shots fired there at the d.c. navy yard. thank you so much. and keep on that. let us know if there s any other developments. we ll be watching it with you. in the meantime we do have other stories to report. there is a shake-up at the clinton correctional facility. it brings in a new warden. we re also learning more from the captured killer david sweat. he claims it was not he and matt his cohort but joyce mitchell who actually wanted to kill her husband in this plot. let s bring in jean casarez she s live outside the prison in dannemora new york. what do we know jean? reporter: so much is happening. the body of richard matt is
