Lackland reported what it called a "security incident" on social media shortly after 11 a.m. local time, and advised people to stay away from the Arnold Hall area, and to stay indoors if they were already in that area. It later listed seven buildings in the area that personnel should avoid.

About an hour and a half later, Lackland announced that the incident had been resolved. Though social media and a statement originally referred to a lockdown being lifted, Lackland's accounts later clarified that the entire base was never locked down, and only that people in the area were asked to stay in place.
