Naval Medical Center Portsmouth in Virginia is currently on lockdown, after a service member was stabbed outside the Navy exchange on the hospital's grounds.
WTKR-TV reports the Navy has identified the suspect as Petty Officer 3rd Class Wilbur Harwell.
The medical center's Facebook page describes Harwell this way:
...a white male, 165 pounds, blond hair, blue eyes, wearing tan cargo pants and a white shirt.
Navy spokesman Jim Moir told WAVY-TV...
The stabbing happened around 8:30 a.m. at Naval Support Activity Hampton Roads/Portsmouth Annex, which is in a separate building outside of the hospital.
Moir said the victim was transported to the hospital with critical injuries.
A SWAT team is on the scene with uniformed officers, K-9 units and detectives searching for the attacker.
In a bizarre case of coincidence, the Naval Medical Center held an active shooter drill on the installation on Thursday.
