(CNN) -- A shooting that prompted a lockdown for hours at a Marine base in Virginia ended with three dead early Friday, including the gunman, authorities said.
Sgt. Christopher Zahn said they were notified of the shooting at Marine Corps Base Quantico late Thursday.


One person was fatally shot, and the gunman barricaded himself into a room, he said.
Using a public address system, police announced a base lockdown as the shooter was holed up inside a building.


Law enforcement officials from the base and the Prince William County surrounded the area.


When they finally entered the building, they found the gunman dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound and a second victim, he said.


The lockdown ended early Friday, a few hours after it started,.


The suspect was a staff member at the Officer Candidate School, according to Capt Eric Flanagan, a Marine Corps spokesman. The motive is unknown.
 


Those weapons should only be used by the military. We should pass a law to prevent people from using those weapons of murder. That would have prevented this tragedy.

I'd like to agree, but the only real solution is posting an armed school child in every base in case this crazy shit ever happens again over there!

That's it! We need to ban semi-auto, full auto, and explosive weapons in the military. They don't need those to shoot deer!
