News is leaking slow on this one. Let's hope it's a false alarm.
UPDATE 1230
EDIT: looks like a false alarm, possible prank

A possible emergency situation is underway at Redstone Arsenal. A spokesman for Redstone says it could be a possible active shooter. All gates are closed at this time. The Marshall Space Flight Center sent an alert at 10:00a.m. Tuesday warning that a "situation exists near the Sparkman Center, RSA bldg. 5301." The message asked for people to avoid the area. An active shooter drill was planned for tomorrow, however, officials tell us the current situation is not part of the drill.
Maybe it isn't a false alarm.......................moran

Sounds like a malfunction and yes a false alarm.

Army post that has, over its history, been a part of the Space Program, missile defense, etc. It is still a center of development for Army Missile systems and the home of the Marshall Space Flight Center.

No response to texts to father, mother, and brother who all work on the Arsenal (NASA, DOD, DOD). I'll update if I hear anything back.
ETA: Dad is at Michoud on a business trip thank god. They announced it there. Still no word from mom and brother who work with missile defense.

Not false alarm. Not a drill.
They've locked the base down. Shelter in place.

Doesn't sound like a false alarm. Redstone Arsenal houses about 40,000 government employees/active military. Typically on the top 10 list for Terrorist targets in the US.

They're reporting its at the Sparkman Center. I believe that's where the Army Missile Command is located.
