Shooting at Corpus Christi Navy base investigated as terrorist attack, FBI says

"An apparent attack at the gate of a military base in Corpus Christi, Texas, on Thursday is being investigated as a terrorist incident, officials said, warning that while the gunman was dead at the scene, a second person may be tied to the violence."

Officials say "shots were fired shortly after 6 a.m. at the north gate of Naval Air Station Corpus Christi. One sailor, a security officer, was injured but is expected to survive, officials said."

The gunman, who was not immediately identified, was dead at the scene.

FBI agent Leah Greeves called the incident "terrorism-related," adding "we may have a potential second related person of interest at large in the community, but we would encourage the public to remain calm, and if you see something say something."
