Lockdown lifted at Lakehurst naval base
LAKEHURST, N.J. (AP) — Officials have lifted a lockdown at a navy base in Lakehurst, N.J.
Senior Airman David Carbajal (CAR'-ba-hall), a spokesman, says there were several "incidents" Monday that he is not yet able to provide more information about. Carbajal says no shots were fired and the base is "secure."
The lockdown meant traffic couldn't get in or out of the base.
The base is perhaps best known as the spot where the airship Hindenberg exploded in 1937. Now known as the Naval Air Engineering Center, one of its main missions relates to the equipment used to launch aircraft from carriers at sea.
