Davis-Monthan Air Force Base is on lockdown, though base officials said that no shots had been fired and no-one had been hurt.

FBI investigators are at the scene and the Tucson police department says its Swat team, hostage negotiations unit and bomb squad are on standby.

Students were safely removed from two elementary schools at the base.
