This was cnx'd @ 12:51 p.m. Allegedly it was a "threat against a building" (Arnold Hall) (NFI).

The base was completely locked down during the duration.

I will post more if/when I find out...

Care to elaborate what exactly was unfortunate?

It turned out to be nothing...

Lackland reported what it called a "security incident" on social media shortly after 11 a.m. local time, and advised people to stay away from the Arnold Hall area, and to stay indoors if they were already in that area. It later listed seven buildings in the area that personnel should avoid.

About an hour and a half later, Lackland announced that the incident had been resolved. Though social media and a statement originally referred to a lockdown being lifted, Lackland's accounts later clarified that the entire base was never locked down, and only that people in the area were asked to stay in place.

Pretty sure that poster is just trying to get his post count up so he can use the FS section.

Couldn't tell you how many times that happened at Bremerton Naval Base. As far as I knew it turned out to be nothing also. They would also train doing much the same, and everyone would be told to stay away or inside while the training took place.

Considering we had an active shooter incident in April 2016 that ended up with the deaths of a squadron commander as well as the shooter (a TSgt), we tend to take any security event pretty seriously...

I thought the same, and yet they have not posted anything since...

I've seen a few people who appear to be doing the same thing recently.
