The base was asking anyone who encountered the individual to call its security forces at 202-767-5000 or 911.
Washington’s Metropolitan Police Department said D.C. officers were responding to a report of shots heard near the base when the suspect ran onto the base. Police said they had no reports of any shooting victims.
The base, across the Potomac River from Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, houses the headquarters of the Defense Intelligence Agency as well as Air Force, Marine Corps and Coast Guard units and an office for the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, NCIS, as well as presidential helicopters.
