All-Clear Issued Following Active Shooter Reports at Luke Air Force Base Incident

All-Clear Declared After Reports of Active Shooter at Luke Air Force Base

Luke Air Force Base authorities have lifted the shelter-in-place order following reports of a possible active shooter early Friday morning. The base confirmed that officials responded promptly to the incident and ensured the safety of personnel on site.

At approximately 10:40 a.m., the 56th Fighter Wing announced on Facebook that emergency teams were addressing active shooter reports. Personnel were instructed to seek shelter and follow first responder guidance while investigations commenced.

By 11:23 a.m., the base spokesperson declared the all-clear, ending the shelter-in-place directive. Officials have yet to disclose what triggered the initial lockdown or if any shots were fired during the event.

Glendale Police, aiding the base authorities, reported no evidence of gunfire after thorough checks. They emphasized that evacuations were conducted out of an “overabundance of caution” to safeguard military and civilian personnel.

Eyewitness accounts from Arizona’s Family news chopper documented a significant law enforcement presence, including multiple law enforcement vehicles at the Luke Block House parking lot. The Block House functions as a service center for both military members and civilian employees.

The scene involved dozens of authorities and military personnel assembling in the area. An ambulance was observed arriving, and several individuals exited the building with their hands raised as officers conducted a thorough sweep.

Military officials highlighted their commitment to safety, stating, “The safety of our Airmen, families, and community is our top priority.” They urged the public to avoid the vicinity and refrain from spreading unconfirmed information.

In such situations, cooperation with law enforcement and adherence to official communications remain critical to maintaining security and order. Authorities continue to monitor and investigate the circumstances surrounding the false alarm at Luke Air Force Base.
