Hours after reports of a possible shooting at the U.S. Naval administrative complex, Washington D.C. police announced that no evidence of a shooting had been found. The Associated Press reported on Thursday, July 2, citing officials from the U.S. capital's police, that officers inspected the site after receiving reports of gunfire at the U.S. Naval administrative complex, but found that no one had been injured and there was no evidence of a shooting.

Reports of another shooting at this complex were reminiscent of the 2013 incident. These reports were accompanied by images showing that U.S. police had surrounded the Naval administrative complex. CNN also reported that police inspected Building 197 on Thursday morning, the same building where the 2013 shooting occurred. Scott Williams, a commander in the U.S. Navy who was present during both the 2013 incident and this morning, told CNN that the surrounding environment of the complex was strikingly similar to the scene in 2013. However, this time, U.S. police emphasized that no one had been killed or injured, no weapons had been found, and no evidence of a shooting had been obtained.
