Lockdown Lifted At Naval Base San Diego

Officials say gates at Naval Base San Diego have been reopened after a brief lockdown Friday morning.

Just before 11 a.m., all vehicles and foot traffic to and from the base were being turned around, and base personnel were told to find a secure place as security conducted a sweep of the installation for a white SUV.

Details about the search were not immediately disclosed, but officials said base gates have been reopened.
