According to an NBC report citing officials present at the Academic Academy, Midshipman hidden themselves during the location of the entire campus when they accidentally perceived a member of the enforcement of law as a threat.
Midshipman then hit the officer with a training weapon and caused the police to start fire.
The injured individual at the US Naval Academy in Annapolis was transported to the Maryland State Police Hospital. Chopper4 shots have shown that someone is placed on a stretcher and loaded into an emergency helicopter.
Why was the naval academy placed on locking?
Locking was launched after reports were made on the American Naval Academy threats that caused a quick security response.
Lieutenant Nweed Lemar, a base spokesman, said that the decision to lock the equipment was accepted “from the abundance of caution”, while the local, state and federal coercive authorities investigated this situation.
“This is a development situation and we will provide updates as soon as they are available,” Lemar said.
The Governor’s Wes Moore office later issued a statement confirming that no credible threat of the Academy had been identified after a coordinated investigation.
The area remains under thorough security sweep to ensure safety from normal operations.
