The US Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, went on lockdown Thursday, September 11, after a midshipman who had been expelled returned armed and opened fire.
Gunshots were heard inside Bancroft Hall, which houses the midshipmen. One victim was transported via medivac and others are were being assessed. One official said the shooter was knocking on doors pretending to be a military policeman. Naval Support Activity Annapolis is coordinating with local law enforcement to investigate.
September 11, 2025, in addition to being the anniversary of one of the most heinous attacks on the US mainland in American history, saw a flurry of similar activity. Earlier in the day, multiple Historically Black Colleges and Universities locked their doors due to “terroristic threats.” As well, the FBI and Utah law enforcement continue their search for the assassin who shot Charlie Kirk, and Congress reported security concerns at the Capitol as lawmakers express fear for their own safety.
Update:
The student who was shot mistook an actual law enforcement officer for the person who had made the threats and struck the officer with a parade rifle. The student was hospitalized and reportedly is expected to be okay.
The former student who made the threats apparently never actually went to the campus. Authorities now believe the person instead made the threats from home but used an IP address to make it seem as if they were on campus at the time.
