Multiple victims are being assessed following a shooting incident at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, in the past 15 minutes. At least one victim was seen being transported by a Maryland State Police medevac helicopter from the scene. Two to three victims have been reported, with at least one requiring medevac. Maryland's Governor has stated there is "no active threat" at this time. Law enforcement, including an Annapolis Police Department SWAT Lenco Bearcat, was observed heading towards the academy. An active shooter situation was reported earlier at the U.S. Naval Academy, leading to a campus-wide lockdown. Gunshots were heard, and multiple injuries were initially reported. A former midshipman, identified as Jackson Fleming, was reportedly the suspect, allegedly moving through Bancroft Hall with a weapon. Governor Wes Moore's office had previously confirmed the lockdown was a precautionary measure amid reports of threats, stating there was currently no credible threat to the academy. This statement followed earlier, non-credible bomb threats made to the homes of state officials. The governor reiterated a stance against violence and threats. Law enforcement, including military police, were actively searching the academy grounds, with reports suggesting the shooter might have been impersonating a military police officer. Students and staff were instructed to shelter in place. Federal and local authorities, along with Congresswoman Sarah Elfreth, were monitoring the situation and advising adherence to law enforcement guidance.
