A gunman has opened fire at a veterans' medical centre at El Paso in Texas, killing one person.
The Veterans' Affairs clinic and the William Beaumont Army Medical Centre were locked down when a gunman was reported on the grounds at 3.10pm local time.
Law enforcement authorities gathered at the scene and a search was carried out for the gunman.
Television footage showed several police cars and emergency vehicles gathered at the medical centres, and a helicopter overhead.
Fort Bliss Major General Stephen M. Twitty confirmed that two people died in the incident, including the gunman.
"The alleged shooter is dead, and we have one casualty. That casualty is deceased," he said.
"All other VA patients and staff are safe... everything is under control and there is no immediate threat to Fort Bliss or the local community."
No further information has been released about the victim or the alleged shooter, or about how they died.
The FBI is leading an investigation into the incident.
The facility treats soldiers returning from conflict zones, including those with Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome (PTSD).
The veterans' clinic came under scrutiny following a federal audit last year.
The audit found veterans trying to see a doctor for the first time faced some of the longest waiting times in the US.
