FORT GORDON, Ga. -- Fort Gordon Army base went on lockdown early Thursday afternoon during an active shooter training exercise.
According to a release, a scheduled "All Hazards Force Protection Exercise" took place in Darling Hall in the morning.
"During the exercise, an individual in the building reacted to an event unfolding in the scenario and called it into 911. Richmond County 911 received the call and appropriately treated it as a legitimate 911 call," the statement said.
Fort Gordon officials "were unable to definitively determine whether or not the 911 call was associated with the exercise," and treated it as legitimate as well. The scheduled exercise was canceled and the base was placed on lockdown.
The base was cleared and the lockdown was lifted.
"There was no real world active shooter on the installation and there were no injuries or casualties."
