DC's Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling lockdown lifted after suspect detained

A Washington, D.C., military base was placed on lockdown Friday afternoon after reports of an armed man with dreadlocks being spotted near a barracks.

"Authorities have responded to the scene, and the threat of an armed individual on Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling has been cleared," the post reads. "The individual was detained and will be transferred to Metropolitan Police Department custody." In an earlier post, officials ordered the lockdown and warned personnel to run, hide or, as a last resort, fight. "If you encounter the individual and have a safe route, RUN. If you do not have a safe route to run, HIDE. Barricade your door, turn off the lights and your cell phone ringer, and remain silent," the post said. "If you are hiding, prepare to FIGHT."
