An active shooter was reported at the Naval Medical Center San Diego, where occupants were advised to “run, hide or fight.” The hospital reported the active shooter just after 8 a.m., prompting staff to advise all non-emergency personnel to stay away from the compound in the 34800 block of Bob Wilson Drive in San Diego. “**!ATTENTION!** An active shooter has just been been reported in building #26 at Naval Medical Center San Diego. All occupants are advised to run, hide or fight,” the hospital wrote on Facebook. A U.S. Navy spokesperson said authorites were currently searching center buildings for the shooter. The San Diego Fire Department confirmed that military police on the base are investigating an active shooter report, said Joseph Amandor, a department spokesman. Firefighters have not been called to the scene and there was no other information available, Amandor said. The Naval Base San Diego on Facebook said the active shooter report was at the Balboa medical center Building 26. “If you are in the vicinity, shelter in place. If in immediate danger, hide or seek shelter in secure space. Barricade the door and dial 911. Silence phones and other devices. Stay away from doors and windows. Remain calm and quiet.” The U.S. Marshals, the Chula Vista Police Department and the CHP are assisting, authorities said. The medical center posted an update shortly after 9 a.m. saying that all childcare facilities were secured: "!UPDATE! For all concerned, the childcare facilities at NMC are currently secured. All children are accounted for and safe. The entire complex is secured, there is no access to the facilities at this time. "

A number of veterans are becoming very angry at the quality of care they are receiving at military and VA facilities. This could be one of them.
