Shots were reported outside Camp Shelby, a military post in Mississippi, for the second straight day, federal and state military officials said on Wednesday.

No service members were reported injured in the incidents.

State police said they were questioning a white male suspect and were using dogs to check his maroon truck for explosives. The man has said that he has no weapons and that his truck backfired, according to the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation.

Soldiers training at Camp Shelby reported that shots were fired into the air around 8 a.m. on Wednesday in the same area where gunfire was reported on Tuesday, Lieutenant Colonel Christian Patterson, a spokesman at the Mississippi Military Department, said in a statement.
