ALAMOGORDO, N.M. (AP) — A shooting at a U.S. Air Force base in New Mexico on Tuesday has left one person dead and another wounded, according to military officials.

The Holloman Air Force Base near Alamogordo, in southern New Mexico, was put on lockdown at about 5:30 p.m. because of reports of an active shooter, according to a statement released by the 49th Wing. The person who was wounded has been taken for medical treatment.

Security officials have confirmed the base is safe and the lockdown has been lifted.

“Emergency personnel are responding to the situation and there is no threat at this time,” the statement said.

Neither the names of the people shot nor additional details on the shooting have been released.

The roughly 93-square-mile (240-square-kilometer) base houses the 49th Wing, which supports national security work and includes combat-ready airmen and guardians, according to its website.
