Midshipman at US Naval Academy was shot by security forces during lockdown

A midshipman was shot Thursday at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, as security officials responding to reports of suspicious activity were clearing a building while the campus was on lockdown, according to a U.S. official.

According to a Navy official, Navy security officers and local law enforcement responded to the campus shortly after 5 p.m.

The midshipman was medevaced to the hospital by Maryland State Police and was in stable condition.

"Thankfully, the Midshipman who was injured during the clearing of a building is in stable condition," Maryland Rep. Sarah Elfreth said in a statement.

"I want to thank our first responders and the doctors and nurses at the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center who put themselves in harm's way to respond to and heal those who have been impacted by these events that have become all too common," Elfreth's said.

"There is no active shooter threat, however, one person was injured while Naval Security Forces were clearing a building," said a Navy official.

In an earlier statement, the Naval Academy said it was on lockdown out of an abundance of caution as law enforcement responded to "reports of threats."

Maryland Gov. Wes Moore's office said earlier that there was "currently no credible threat to the Naval Academy."

What a screwy story.

So, security forces came to the Naval Academy to look for an "active shooter."

One of the students at the Naval Academy mistook the security force officer as the active shooter, and hit him in the head with a weapon.

Then the security force officer shoots the kid in the arm.

Lol. Dumbest. People. Ever.
