DEVELOPING: The sprawling NASA Glenn Research Center next to the Cleveland airport is under lockdown amid a report of a possible gunman.
Spokeswoman Sally Harrington wouldn't say whether police were checking for a gunman but says the complex was placed under "complete lockdown" Friday morning.
NASA Glenn is located at the edge of Cleveland Hopkins International Airport along the Cleveland-Brook Park border.
Brook Park police withheld details on how they were handling the situation. Cleveland police said they weren't involved.
An airport spokewoman says its operations are unaffected.
NASA Glenn is named after Ohio-born astronaut John Glenn and has more than 3,400 employees and contract workers. It recently developed key components of a new moon rocket.
edit to add...seems it is all clear now.
