The U.S. Navy confirmed Thursday on its Twitter page that a shooter involved in a shooting incident at the Naval Air Station (NAS) Corpus Christi, Texas,"has been neutralized."

Naval Security Forces at NAS Corpus Christi responded to the shooter at approximately 6:15 a.m. (1115 GMT) on Thursday morning, the air base said in a statement.

"All gates on the installation remain closed while first responders process the scene," said the U.S. Navy.

Local media reported that a member of the naval security forces was injured at the facility during the incident.

The air base said earlier on its Facebook page that the shooting happened "in the vicinity of the North Gate" of NAS Corpus Christi, which is "now in a lockdown status."
