A US military base in southern Japan went into a brief lockdown today following reports of gunshots, but declared "all clear" after finding no evidence that shots were fired.
"On November 3, 2016, at 9:33 am (0603 IST) security received a report of gunshots heard inside building 141... The building was evacuated," Commander Fleet Activities Sasebo Japan said in a Facebook post.
"All clear, lockdown has been lifted. No evidence of shots fired or an active shooter," it said shortly afterwards, adding that no injuries had been reported.
