Keesler Air Force Base in Biloxi, Mississippi, was placed on lockdown early Wednesday morning amid reports of a potential active shooter threat. Gates were closed, and law enforcement alongside military personnel conducted thorough security operations to investigate the situation.
After an extensive search, officials confirmed there was no evidence of an active shooter or any ongoing threat. No injuries were reported, and the base is now secure. Some areas remain on heightened alert as a precaution while final searches are completed.
Biloxi Police Department assisted in the investigation but found no signs of danger and have since left the scene. The lockdown was unrelated to any scheduled readiness exercises at the base.
Keesler AFB, home to the 81st Training Wing, continues its mission on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, maintaining tight security protocols to ensure the safety of personnel and the surrounding community.
More updates are expected as officials finalize their review of the incident.
