Two suspects are in custody, officials said, one day after a shooting on Fort Carson, Colorado, injured one person.

Fort Carson officials on Friday afternoon said the two suspects were being held at the Douglas County Jail. The victim from Thursday's incident remains hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries, officials said.

The incident is under investigation. 

On Thursday, Fort Carson was locked down and all personnel were asked to shelter in place after a shooting was reported near Bad Toelz Road in the center of the installation, officials said.

"Based on our assessment, there is not an active shooter situation; however, all personnel are sheltering in place and all gates have been closed to in- and outbound traffic while the situation is being investigated," officials said in a statement at the time.

The lockdown lasted about an hour, and one suspect was taken into custody Thursday evening.

The incident on Fort Carson came just one day after a lockdown at Travis Air Force Base in California. In that case, police lifted the lockdown after they found no signs of gunshots being fired at the base exchange.
