We are getting reports of an active shooter situation at Travis Air Base base just outside Fairfield, California.
Officials at the base posted the following statement on the Travis AFB Facebook page just before 3:30 p.m.:
“Travis Air Force Base is currently responding to a security incident,” Fairfield Police Department said this afternoon. “More details will be released as they become available. The public is being asked to stay away from the base to ensure emergency responders can respond accordingly.”
Travis AFB had been conducting exercise drills earlier today, but officials at the base have confirmed this is a “real world security incident,” not a drill.
Security alert @Travis60AMW. Shelter in place. Lock doors/windows. Await further info. Follow Travis Facebook page for updates.
