It is not clear what has caused the Marine Corps Base to go on red alert. Although the base had tweeted that the Code Red was over after a while, they were quick to correct that message and told people to disregard the error.
“ALL personnel on main side Quantico are to shelter in place until further notice. Disregard any previous message sent in error. Repeat shelter in place until further notice,” read a follow-up tweet.
This is a developing story.
