Naval Air Station Corpus Christi was put on lockdown early Thursday morning when an active shooter was reported on base.

A spokesperson for the Texas air station said online that security forces responded around 6:15 a.m. CDT.

The gunman was “neutralized" but the base remained locked down.

A security force member was injured, according to the Navy, but it’s unclear if he or she was shot.

ATF special agents are on the scene to help with the investigation.

The coastal base is located in Nueces County, about 140 miles southeast of San Antonio. Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard and foreign student pilots have been doing Naval pilot training there since 1941.

The nearby Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi also warned students to avoid campus if possible, or to stay indoors and away from windows.
