The U.S. Naval Academy in Maryland went on lockdown Thursday after officials reported threats made against the military school.
Lt. Naweed Lemar, spokesperson for the base that hosts the academy, confirmed in a statement that the academy is working with local law enforcement to investigate.
“The base is on lockdown out of an abundance of caution,” Lemar said. “This is a developing situation and we will provide updates as they become available.”
