It appears to be over, but no idea yet if the suspect was a disgruntled employee, a despondent boyfriend and/or a man with Mohammad somewhere in his name.
Officials have lifted a lockdown that lasted a little more than two hours at a Naval air base in Lakehurst on Monday morning. The lockdown went into effect about 9:15 a.m. on the 42,000 acre Naval Air Systems Command base (NAVAIR) at the Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, however it's still unclear as to what put base officials on alert. No one was allowed to leave or enter the base during the lockdown. The Dix and McGuire portions of the base were not affected. The base is a tri-service military installation, combining Fort Dix, the McGuire Air Force Base, and the NAVAIR base, formerly known as the Naval Air Engineering Station Lakehurst. The NAVAIR Lakehurst base is the same site where the Hindenburg crashed in 1937. It currently employs about 3,500 people worldwide and is located about 75 miles south of New York City.
