DEVELOPING: A gunman has fired three shots at a Navy building in Washington, injuring at least one person, U.S. Navy officials announced Monday.
A police spokesman told The Washington Post that a D.C. police officer was shot near the room where a lone gunman has barricaded himself after allegedly shooting at least three people on the Navy Yard grounds in southeast Washington.
A defense official who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak during an active attack said there were at least several injuries as authorities search for an active shooter.
Police officers are currently on the scene outside the Naval Sea Systems Command Headquarters building, where the shooting was reported. Roughly 3,000 people who work inside the building have been directed to stay in place, Navy officials said.
An FBI spokeswoman said at least one victim was reported. The U.S. Navy also confirmed on Twitter that they're looking for a gunman.
The Washington Post reports that police said at least three, possibly four, people were shot, including the unidentified D.C. police officer. All are in critical condition, authorities told the newspaper.
