WASHINGTON There is a large police presence Tuesday afternoon on the grounds of Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland.
Jeremy Brooks, a Naval Support Activity Bethesda spokesman, told WTOP that there had been reports of shots being fired in the basement of Building 19, which is the site of the Murtha Cancer Center. The area was being cleared, he said, and there was no indication yet of a shooter.
Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger, a Democrat representing Marylands 2nd District who was visiting the facility Tuesday, tweeted out that he had been moved to a safe room.
