Reports of a person on base with a weapon prompted a security shutdown Friday of an Air Force base in Tucson, officials said.
Davis-Monthan Air Force Base was locked down for several hours in the early afternoon as officials investigated the incident. No shots were fired nor was there any confirmation of a gunman by midafternoon.
Traffic at the base was restricted to one entry point, spokesman Timothy Moore said in a telephone interview.
Ambulances had been sent to the base
