File Photo by Bonnie Cash/UPI | License PhotoOct. 1 (UPI) -- A civilian working at a U.S. Navy base in New Jersey is accused of falsely reporting an active shooter to create a "trauma bond" with her co-workers.
The landlocked naval base is located about 40 miles northeast of Philadelphia in New Jersey's Burlington and Ocean counties.
The individual who received the text at about 10:15 a.m. EDT reported it to the naval base and 911.
The base initiated an hour-long lockdown at about 11 a.m. until the "all clear" was sounded shortly before noon.
