'All clear': Officials responding to reported gunfire at Florida naval station says no shooter or victims found

Police officials investigating a reported incident at Corry Station, a Navy installation in Pensacola, Florida, found no evidence of an active shooter and confirmed no injuries following reports of gunfire.
“Law enforcement conducted a sweep of Naval Air Station (NAS) Pensacola and Corry Station in response to reports of an active shooter situation. They have reported that there are no signs of an active shooter, and the area is determined ALL CLEAR,” NAS Pensacola wrote on X.

The Escambia County Sheriff's Office responded to reports of multiple gunshots at approximately 10.15 am March 6, with Sheriff Chip Simmons stating that despite a thorough search, no evidence of shooting or casualties was discovered.
Law enforcement officials deployed all available deputies to Corry Station sub-installation, whilst both the base and Naval Air Station Pensacola restricted access during the investigation.
Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Morgan Lewis confirmed the ongoing nature of the operation, whilst officers continued their comprehensive inspection of the premises.
According to posts on the station's X and Facebook accounts, Corry Station gates remained closed whilst the Air Station's main gates reopened for credentialed personnel. Public access areas continued to be restricted.
Earlier as a precaution, the gates at Corry Station, along with the main and west gates of Naval Air Station Pensacola were closed temporarily.

Taking to X, NAS Pensacola had earlier said: “NAS Pensacola Navy Security Forces and local law enforcement entities are responding to an active shooter situation March 6 onboard Corry Station.”
“‘Our Security team is responding swiftly and expertly with our local law enforcement partners,’ said Capt. Chandra Newman. Our concern is always the safety and welfare of our service members and their families,” they added.
Corry Station, a subsidiary installation of Naval Air Station Pensacola command, houses the Navy's Center for Information Warfare Training alongside civilian and Marine operations.
The installation maintains round-the-clock gate operations, requiring proper credentials or accompaniment by authorised personnel for entry.
In December 2019, NAS Pensacola experienced a deadly shooting when a Saudi student opened fire in a classroom, killing three sailors and injuring eight others, including two sheriff’s deputies. The attacker, Mohammed Alshamrani, was fatally shot by one of the deputies.
