Police are responding to a report of an active shooter at the Washington Navy Yard in southeast Washington, D.C., WUSA9 says.

No casualties have been reported at this time.

The U.S. Navy tweeted that Navy Yard is on lockdown, but no incident has been confirmed. Local media say the surrounding streets have been closed.

Navy Yard was the scene of a mass shooting in September 2013, when Aaron Alexis, a 34-year-old civilian contractor, fatally shot 12 people at the headquarters of the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA). Alexis was killed during a firefight with police.
