FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. – A source informed ClarksvilleNow.com several buildings on Fort Campbell had been locked down in response to a shooting threat.
Post officials have confirmed receiving information about an alleged threat, but said they found no evidence of one.
“It’s a testament to the rapid response and professionalism of our emergency services department,” said installation public affairs officer Bob Jenkins. “However, it is proving to be more and more of a challenge to get ahead of the rumor mill due to social media. Nevertheless, the health, safety and welfare of our Soldiers, Families and civilian employees are of the utmost importance and we’ll take whatever steps necessary to ensure their well being.”
The U.S. Army Fort Campbell official Facebook page responded to the comments of concerned members of the public earlier in the day:
“There is no active shooter. A threat was made. Emergency personnel responded. No one was in peril and no one was injured. The incident is over.”
