An application on the base page on Facebook called on all employees to hide on the spot. The statement did not describe the nature of the threat. The castle was raised shortly before noon, a little less than an hour after the announcement.

The statement of Habbe did not specify the alleged actions of the employee, but in it they described a person in a statement on all Caps as “suspects in … today's active shooter”.

Investigation by e-mail in the Office of the US prosecutor in New Jersey was not immediately returned.

“This type of senseless struggle with fear and destruction will not endure in my state,” Khabba added. “After all that this country went through, especially in the light of current events, I will definitely throw a hammer of the law for everyone who is guilty of creating unnecessary panic and the undermining of public confidence.”

The US joint base McGuire-Dix-lakehurst is one of the country's largest military installations. It covers 42,000 acres (17,000 hectares) and combines the functions of the Air Force, the army and the Military Fleet and are considered more than 42,000 military personnel, relatives and civil servants.

The base is located about 18 miles (29 kilometers) south of Trenton, state capital and about 30 miles (48 kilometers) east of Philadelphia.

On Tuesday, the incident unfolded when the American military leaders were gathered on the basis of the Marine Corps in Kvantico, Virginia, where Minister of Defense Pit Hegset called them from all over the world to hear how he announced the termination of the “awakened” culture in the Armed Forces.

This happens after recent violence in military installations in recent years.

Last month, the army sergeant was charged with firing five supporters on the basis of Georgia. Other executions ranged from individual disputes between military personnel to attacks on bases before mass capuel attacks, such as 2009 shooting, an army psychiatrist, which killed 13 people in Ford Hood Texas.
