Base security personnel at Naval Air Station Corpus Christi detained a suspected armed man Wednesday morning after threats he allegedly made to co-workers triggered a lockdown at the Texas installation, officials told Navy Times.

“He was a suspected armed gunman,” said air station spokeswoman Fifi Kieschnick. “He’s now in the custody of base security. No shots were fired. No injuries were reported. There is no known connection between this morning’s incident and other incidents around the country.”

She said that the unnamed man is no longer on the base.

Shortly after 7:30 a.m., Naval Air Station Corpus Christi ordered the base locked down and all personnel to shelter in place. By 7:47 a.m., however, the base’s social media accounts said they had "a suspect in custody.”
