From Pensacola News Journal:

Escambia County Sheriff Chip Simmons says reports of an active shooter onboard NAS Pensacola Corry Station are unfounded. Simmons held a press conference outside the base.

No injuries have been found at this time and there is no evidence of an active shooter. Deputies are continuing to clear buildings. Simmons said he expects ECSO officials to remain about another hour.

Shortly after Simmon’s announcement, many of the massive response of emergency vehicles began to leave the scene.
