Multiple people are injured after a shooting at the Fort Hood Army post Wednesday afternoon, officials said, and the post is on lockdown.
As many as eight people may be injured, and there may have been two shooters, NBC News reported. One of those was believed to be "down," while the second was believed to be at-large, according to NBC News.
Fort Hood confirmed that a shooting occurred at the post, though the number of people injured and the severity of their injuries has not been confirmed.
Just after 5 p.m. local time, the base tweeted that all personnel were being asked to shelter in place, close doors and stay away from windows.
The shooting is believed to have taken place at the Medical Brigade Building. Local NBC affiliate KCEN-TV reported there were also reports of victims at the Battle Simulation Center.
Central Texas College' campus was evacuated due to the shooting, with all personnel and students asked to leave and all classes canceled.
Officials with the Bell County Sheriff's Office and Texas Department of Public Safety are helping to secure the perimeter of the post.
In November 2009, 13 people were killed and more than 30 others injured when Maj. Nidal Hasan opened fire on dozens of people at the post. Hasan was paralyzed during an exchange of gunfire and, in late 2013, was sentenced to death. He is currently awaiting execution.
