Active shooter drill at NAS Jax today

Jacksonville FL — You might have a hard time getting on base at NAS Jax Thursday, as they’ll conduct an active shooter drill from 9AM until 2PM. The base says the drill is part of an annual training exercise and not in response to any specific threat.

Temporary gate closures, sounds of simulated gunshots, and an increased presence of emergency officials will all be part of the drill. The base says steps have been taken to make sure normal operations will see minimal disruptions, but there may be times where traffic around the base will increase.
