Two People Dead in Lackland Air Force Base Shooting in San Antonio

A shooting Friday morning at Lackland Air Force Base that left two people dead is an apparent murder-suicide, Bexar County Sheriff’s Office spokesman James Keith said.

“(We) do believe the shooter is accounted for,” Keith told reporters. Keith said the gender of the victims and their relationship wasn’t immediately known.

The shooting happened in the Medina Base Annex of Lackland and remains on lockdown since the shooting was reported at 8:30 a.m. Keith said he didn’t know if there are other victims and that some rooms were still locked.

The Bexar County Sheriff’s office said its deputies continued to search the base, and that they had found at least two dead in the incident. The scene was still considered active as of 10:40 a.m., ET, but a representative for the sheriff told MSNBC his office did not believe there was still an active shooter situation.

The official account for the sheriff first posted on Twitter about the active shooter reports at 9:50 a.m., ET.
