A man was injured at the Fairfax County Judicial Center in Virginia on Tuesday afternoon, the county police said.

The complex, on Page Avenue in Fairfax, was locked down. The police described his injuries as life-threatening.

The police are telling people to stay away from the area and call 911 if they have any more information.
