Without any more specific information than that, local schools have been put on lockdown for safety precautions.

The facility is still on lockdown to ensure everyone’s safety.
UPDATE 12:47 pm PT:
It’s officially a false alarm.
Investigators have found nothing to substantiate one person’s report that someone fired gunshots Tuesday morning at the San Diego facility’s Building 26, which contains barracks, a gym and administrative offices, Navy Capt. Curt Jones told reporters.
However, authorities at the center’s 78-acre campus still were going though the building late Tuesday morning, and it will take a long time to finish their search, he said.
We can all be grateful that this was nothing.
