According to KENS 5, the shooting first started at around 4:25 p.m. local time. Police are already on the scene. Those inside the base have been told to seek shelter where they are.
News is still coming in about the shooting, but it has been reported that around 20 rounds were fired outside of the base and that the shooter then went into the medical brigade building. A solider posted at Ford Hood also said that it looks like a standoff was underway.
KVUE reports that at least one person is dead after the shooting began, but KENS 5 notes it has not received any word about casualties at the base.
