If it is actually "outside" the base (Morningside) it's not too much of a surprise.

It's usually the "hood" around that area....

They were also scheduled to have an active shooter drill today as well. Hopefully it's a misunderstanding and everyone's okay l.

Apparently someone didn't get the memo

Glad to hear that! Makes you wonder about a situation there in regards to Air Force One

What an embarrassment. There was no active shooter. It was just confusion over a planned drill exercise.

We were literally on a 2 mile final when an ACARS message came through to our plane stating that. Tower hadn't said a peep about it. We looked at each other and decided to continue the landing. After roll out we verify with base ops that everything is kosher. It ended up delaying the president an hour and a half. Glad it wasn't a big deal.
