One official on campus said, "The shooter is knocking on doors pretending to be a military policeman."
"Naval Support Activity Annapolis, in coordination with local law enforcement, is currently responding to reports of threats made to the Naval Academy," NSAA PAO, LT Naweed Lemar, told Fox News. "The base is on lockdown out of an abundance of caution. This is a developing situation and we will provide updates as they become available."
