So the article in the OP has changed, and looks like there was no issue:
quote:

UPDATE: Keesler Air Force Base lifts lockdown after unconfirmed reports of active shooter

quote:

BILOXI, Miss. (WLOX) - Keesler Air Force Base confirmed to WLOX that the base was on lockdown Wednesday morning, but it has since been lifted.

The Biloxi Police Department initially said there were reports of an active shooter around 8:00 a.m.

After investigating, officials with Keesler AFB said there were no indications of an active shooter or active threat.

Public affairs officials with Keesler Air Force Base also said no injuries have been reported.

Drill was supposed to start at 9:00. The person firing blanks started at 8:00. Everyone thought it was an active shooter. It wasn't.
Chances are it was only a vehicle backfiring. If it was an Airman firing blanks, they wouldn’t have said that no active shooter was found and don’t know where it originated.

This happens at almost all active shooter drills. Someone calls in that they saw something real, and the installation has to treat it that way. Then dependents on the Facebook page start fear mongering and arguing with each other. It never fails.
