A lockdown has been issued for Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling in Washington D.C. Friday over an active threat of a “potential armed individual.”
An alert posted to the base’s Facebook page described the suspect as a “Black male with a medium build carrying a Gucci Bag” and the last known location as being on the South side near the Blanchard Barracks.
“If you encounter the individual and have a safe route, RUN. If you do not have a safe route to run, HIDE. Barricade your door, turn off the lights and your cell phone ringer, and remain silent. If you are hiding, prepare to FIGHT,” the notice said.
