as we head into this holiday weekend. we ve talked to witnesses who were inside this episode this morning. they were told to leave. they were told if you the couldn t shetlter in place some for actually running out of the building. but again, no reports of anyone we could find who actually heard a gunshot. the police presence has not diminished at all over the last hour or so. still investigating this. still a very serious situation here in southeast washington. jeff and of course everybody is very alert when you talk about place where such a tragic mass shooting happened two years ago. stay with us on the scene, jeff. i do want to bring in pamela brown working her sources as always. also jonathan gilliam as well. pamela, let s talk about the 911 call. we ve learned through sources that someone placed a 911 call earlier this morning and said there was a shooting on the
shooting. it was very clear there was an active shooting. it became very clear instantaneously. a very different situation here. it is still on lockdown. if you look behind me here the police presence has not changed in the last hour or hour and a half or so. they are still going room by room in this building 197. there is more of a sense of calm out here certainly. certainly people are jittery and on edge. just to give you a bit of perspective, we re about a mile from the u.s. capitol. the u.s. capitol is increasing security a little bit. that s where all of the 4th of july festivities will be in just a couple days here. you can see behind me here there are still police from multiple agencies reporting, still hundreds of workers in the area who are unable to report to work in the navy yard. again, there are no reports no one has confirmed there actually was a shooting, were
liberty to talk in detail about them. the capitol, as well as over official washington buildings are on better and higher alert in this kind of situation to protect anyone who s working there anyone who s visiting anyone who may be in the vicinity. what we have heard, our pamela brown reporting from her law enforcement sources is that senator this was a 911 call that came in that reported a shooting on the second floor of building 197, the same building where the 2013 shooting happened, but that police have not found any evidence of a shooting. also i want to emphasize here no gunmen have been spotted at this point in time no one has said that they heard gunshots. given all of this is this the reaction we should be seeing to threats like this? are you encouraged frankly, given the heightened alert for potential terrorist activity
like a fire drill. we ve talked to them. they re all gathered here. they were at work. some of them were on the navy yard grounds and got out. some of them were just arriving to work. none of them report that they saw or heard any shooting. we know law enforcement is actively searching these buildings to make sure they declare them safe. it s going to take hours to do this. this is a very large facility. there are thousands of workers who work there. also pamela brown brought up the fact that law enforcement is on heightened alert here across the 4th of july holiday because of the increasing threat to this nation. however, no specific plots have been uncovered. but do you believe that is part of what has driven this response this morning, such a big immediate response just given the heightened alert across the country right now?
