The shooter is in the old hospital building which is a long block from the main areas.

Navy says active shooter, but asks police to stay away. And then says "the childcare areas are secure". Something just seems off here.

No evidence of a shooter, and the dogs are going through the buildings now. Someone called in hearing three shots, and they're looking for the original caller now.

Possible HVAC issue found in the building where it was called that could have caused the noise, and someone might have gotten hysterical in a neo-natal unit the next building over, but the whole situation is going to fade off the radar pretty quick.
