A man was taken into custody Wednesday morning after a shooting outside the National Security Agency building at Fort Meade, Md., ended with a black SUV stopped by barriers outside a gate, officials said.
Federal law enforcement officials told Fox News that preliminary info from the scene suggests that someone tried to ram the NSA gate in their vehicle.
One person was injured in the shooting and was taken to the hospital, Fort Meade spokeswoman Cheryl Phillips told Fox News. It’s unclear if the person injured was the suspect.
The shooting occurred at the visitors gate off Route 32 at the U.S. military installation around 7:15 a.m., FOX5DC reported.
“NSA police and local law enforcement are addressing an incident that took place this morning at one of NSA’s security vehicle entry gates. The situation is under control and there’s no ongoing security or safety threat,” an the NSA said in a statement to Fox News.
The FBI said that the incident at the military installation “has been contained.” The agency added it is sending personnel to respond to the scene.
