There was a massive police response Monday on the grounds of Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda after a report of shots fired at the facility was called in. It led to a campus lockdown and an order for those inside Walter Reed to shelter in place.

But after hours of searching, police say they found no evidence that any shooting occurred and the all-clear came just after 2 p.m.

At 10:48 a.m., Montgomery County police say a 911 caller reported hearing a single gunshot inside the Building 1 at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.

The 243-acre campus went on lockdown as local and federal police descended on Walter Reed.

UPDATE - 2:15 p.m.

All-clear given at Walter Reed Medical Center.

UPDATE - 1:59 p.m.

Montgomery County police tweet all police operations inside Walter Reed are complete, and there is no evidence of a firearm being discharged on campus. Normal operations are expected to resume soon.

UPDATE - 1:46 p.m.

All lanes of Rt. 355 have been reopened. Still awaiting the all-clear from inside Walter Reed, but many law enforcement vehicles seen leaving the area.

UPDATE - 1:30 p.m.

Cpt. Paul Starks says the sweep of the 20-floor, high-rise building (known as Building 1) is complete, and there has been no evidence that a firearm was discharged. No injuries reported. Starks says there are no plans at this point to search any additional buildings on campus.

Starks says the initial call regarding the sound of possible gunshots was made to the dispatch center on campus, and from there, Montgomery County police were called. Officers from all five Montgomery County police districts responded, along with officers from many of their law enforcement partners around the national capital area. "All of this is protocol. No one agency has the resources to handle this by themselves," Starks told FOX 5's Tom Fitzgerald.
