The U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis went into lockdown Thursday after reports of gunfire inside Bancroft Hall, which houses more than 1,600 midshipmen. Initial claims of an armed threat sparked panic as one person was injured and airlifted to a hospital. Officials later clarified the gunshot was the result of an accidental discharge by law enforcement, not an active shooter. Authorities confirmed no credible threat to campus security, dispelling rumors and assuring midshipmen and families that the situation was under control.
