WASHINGTON

The U.S. military's Joint Base Langley-Eustis in Virginia was on lockdown on Friday after shots were fired, the base said on Twitter.

There was no active shooter or reported casualties, it said. The joint Army and Air Force base is near Hampton Roads and Norfolk, about 120 miles south of Washington.
