10-15 minutes ago WTOP radio reported shooting at Bolling AFB. They have not retracted, but are currently saying that something is happening there and the base gates are still closed.

Bolling AFB is co-located with Anacostia Naval Air Station on the east side of the Potomac, due south of DC.

Gates could be closed simply because they have a number of us locked down...no one off...no one on.

Official report says no shooting at AFB

All these shootings, and pretty soon Nobama will have to come in off the golf course.

The gates are closed because they closed Bolling AFB as a precaution.

Bolling spokesman denies any shooting on the base; maybe you could ask the Admin to modify the headline.

...the base gates are still closed

Makes sense - One shooting at a military facility in the DC area, lock down the rest.

Best case scenario - no further incidents.
Next Best - Keep them OUT.
Not So Good - Keep them contained after they try something.
