Mop-up report:





Suspect in custody after reports of active shooter at Fort Lee Army base
Published August 25, 2014


A shooting incident at the Fort Lee Army base in Virginia has been "resolved" and the shooter taken into custody, a senior U.S. Army official told Fox News.


The official said a single female shooter -- described as "disgruntled" -- has been detained by authorities at the base in central Virginia. She appears to have been injured during the shooting, the official said. No other injuries to personnel have been reported at this time.


The shooting occurred earlier Monday morning outside the headquarters for the Army's Combined Arms Support Command. The base was placed on lockdown and personnel there were told to enact active shooter protocols.


An "all clear" was issued by the Fort Lee installation operations center at approximately 9:50 a.m., according to the base's Facebook page.


"The law enforcement event is over," the post said. Another official told Fox News that "there is no danger to the public at this time."


The base is about 25 miles south of Richmond, Virginia, and about 130 miles from Washington.


According to the military's website, Fort Lee is the third-largest training site in the Army. Its daily population is about 34,000, with members from all branches, their families, civilians and contractors. The Army website also cites enormous growth and renovations at Fort Lee over the past decade as a result of realignment and closures of bases across the U.S.

A soldier apparently shot herself Monday at Fort Lee in Virginia, U.S. military and law enforcement officials told NBC News. There was no immediate word on her condition.

The base was locked down at the first report of an “active shooter” after the woman, who was on active duty, entered a building brandishing a gun, the officials said.

The lockdown was lifted a short time later after investigators determined that the shooting appeared to be a suicide, they said.



The active shooter was reported at the headquarters of the Combined Arms Support Command, an Army training facility.

The base, just south of Richmond, has an average population of 34,000, according to the Army.
