Sheriffs for Harford County said they were on the scene at the Emmorton Business Park in Edgewood - about 30 miles (48 km) northeast of Baltimore - with two other people critically injured. | |
Harford County Sheriff Jeffrey Gahler said police are currently looking for the suspected gunman. Maryland State Police identified 37-year-old Radee Labeeb Prince as the alleged shooter. | |
Mr Gahler also said the suspect fled the scene in a black 2000 GMC Acadia with Delaware license plates and should be "considered armed and dangerous," the Baltimore Sun newspaper reported. | |
All five victims are believed to be employees of Advanced Granite Solutions, where the shooting happened, the sheriff said. | |
According to police, Mr Prince is associated with the business, but at this time it is unclear the exact nature of the relationship. | |
They said a gunman walked into the business with a handgun and shot five employees just before 10 am local time. | |
The two injured were taken to Baltimore's Shock Trauma Center, part of the University of Maryland Medical Center. | |
Other businesses in the Emmorton complex and five schools in the Edgewood area have been placed on lockdown — meaning students are being kept in the buildings, and visitors are not permitted — at the advice of the sheriff's office, the county school system has said. | |
Federal agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) are also on the scene to assist local police. | |
Mr Gahler has also said police do not believe any other individuals were involved in the shooting and that it appears "to be a target attack, limited to that business." | |
According to the local newspaper, a residence in Cecil County, Maryland has been searched in relation to the incident. | |
