Update

Authorities have evacuated Building 44 at the Johnson Space Center because of reports of a man with a weapon, according to a JSC spokeswoman.

There were reports that several shots were fired, but NASA spokesman Bill Jeffs would not confirm that.

Houston Police were at the scene.

It was not immediately clear whether anyone was missing or injured.

NASA security got a phone call at 1:40 p.m. about a person with a weapon at Building 44, an office building where engineers work on communications systems.

It was unclear what kind of weapon was involved.

People were told to leave Building 44, and workers in other buildings were told to remain there.

Building 44, which sits in the middle of the 1,600-acre Johnson Space Center campus, includes offices and two labs. It is an engineering facility for communications and tracking involved in space shuttle work.

From television helicopter camera shots on Channel 11, many Houston Police cars were seen around the building.

I left a few min after two, no idea what was going on until a clerk at home depot said something, Tony called a few min later. What's ironic is yesterday I tried to talk to some of the sheeple at work about planning ahead for something like this and got the old deer in the headlights look.
