A shooting has occurred at Fort Hood, Texas, the same base where a military psychiatrist killed 13 people 4½ years ago, an Army official told NBC News.

The base was locked down, and all personnel on the base were ordered to shelter in place immediately.  

A U.S military official told NBC News that authorities were searching for the shooter.

No other details were immediately available, but a person who answered the phone at the base’s media office separately confirmed that there had been an “incident” at the base near Waco.

Maj. Nidal Hasan was convicted in August of the killing in November 2009 and injured 32 others.
