Police say authorities are responding to a shooting outside the National Security Agency campus at Fort Meade, where police have surrounded a handcuffed man after a black SUV ran into a barrier. At least one person is injured after an early morning vehicle collision and shooting at the National Security Agency campus at Fort Meade.
Fort Meade Garrison spokeswoman Cheryl Phillips confirmed by phone that one person was injured in the shooting outside the base and was taken to hospital. Authorities have said the situation is under control and that “there’s no ongoing security or safety threat”. NSA garrison spokeswoman Cheryl Phillips said the injured person was transported to the hospital.
The NSA released no immediate information, the FBI said it was sending people to the scene. The shooting happened after a black SUV ran into a concrete barricade at the base, and police have arrested at least one male suspect, but it was not immediately clear if that man was the same person reported injured.
