"joint base andrews was scheduled to conduct a no-notice active shooter exercise. however, reports of a real-world active shooter situation at the medical facility were miscommunicated before the exercise was to begin. there was a misidentification of the security forces emergency services team who were conducting a routi

of the medical facility, which caused the distress call." base officials are not saying who made the call. the base is used by active and nonactive personnel as well as their families. >> it's a brand-new facility. they just built a brand new center. it's a beautiful, new building. it's in the process of being opened and several clinics are opened now. >> reporter: this call went into the base's version of 911 where their first responders can respond. again, because of this active shooter drill that was about to take place, there was initially some confusion both on the base and then for folks getting news about this happening here. but again, things are now all quiet as they investigate. >> isn't there a basic protocol that would have covered all of is

confusion? >> as far as we understand, the drill that was planned that had no notice was on the other side of the base and never had an opportunity to get under way. what we're looking at here, the fact that we have some armed guards who were patrolling the medical center and someone reacted to that thinking that there was a possibility of an active shooter, so part of the miscommunication here is what was told to us from the department. they said this had something to do with the drill. this is all still being worked out. >> and, of course, given the events of the last couple of years, we are all kind of jumpy so that's understandable as well. thank you, tracee. we saw a similar situation unfold at the skyline towers at the fairfax county. police shut down traffic in the area and that, too, proved to be a misunderstanding. an employee
