Does anyone have any details on this? I just saw the ticker on msnbc.com.

"Johnson Space center building evacuated amid reports of person with gun"

cnn.com:

"Police are responding to a report of gunfire at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas."

Building 44 has been evacuated due to a report of a gunman.   We have been instructed to stay indoors.  SWAT is reportedly on the way.  Police and ambulances are standing by.

CNN showing it live. Some fool of a commentator going on about this being the last thing they need after the Nowak situation (thanks for mentioning that!)

Building 44.

"gunman contained in one room."

"everyone appears to be out of the building."

"no indications as of yet that anyone has been injured."

"the building is isolated from the others."

All of JSC is "sheltering in place".  Can't get much news - the internet is overloaded from all the video streaming.   All of my people are accounted for.

Heard on the KPRC feed.... Nice job on the guilty until proven innocent front, saying "the gunman" is an employee.....

No need for a trial now....
