Joint Base San Antonio - Lackland security officials returned fire on multiple active shooters early Saturday morning. Shooters reportedly attempted to enter through the main gate at the JBSA-Chapman Training Annex when the incident happened, according to a story from KSAT. 

The shooting exchange took place around 4:30 a.m. Saturday, August 17, and San Antonio police officers have since responded to the scene. The main gate has been closed for an investigation of the shooting, and traffic is being redirected to an entry point North on Ray Ellison Boulevard, according to KSAT. 

The active shooters are not known to have any military affiliation, according to base officials. It was not immediately clear what led up to the base security officers firing back at the shooters, how many shooters were involved or if there are any injuries, according to KSAT.
