Several people have been killed and wounded after shots were fired at the biggest naval command base in the US in Washington, DC.
Authorities have said at least 7 people have been killed and several others wounded in shootings at the Washington Navy Yard on Monday morning.
Shots were fired at around 8:20 a.m. ET at the Naval Sea Systems Command Headquarters building where nearly 3,000 people work.
D.C. Metropolitan Police Chief Cathy Lanier has said one of the suspected shooters have been killed while authorities are searching for two other possible shooters involved in the incident at the Navy Yard.
Officials say the suspected shooters are wearing military style clothing.
The sea systems command is the biggest of the US Navys five system commands and is responsible for building, buying, and maintaining ships and submarines.
Police officers closed streets near the Navy Yard and a shelter in place order was issued for the personnel.
Moreover, US Capitol Police, responsible for protecting US Congress, confirmed enhanced security at Capitol Hill.
Meanwhile, an elementary school near the installation in Southeast Washington was on lockdown.
An unnamed White House official has told The Washington Post that Obama has been briefed on the situation.
