FBI holds suspect after shots fired near NSA headquarters | |
(4 months later) | |
The FBI said on Wednesday it had detained the person it believes fired shots near the National Security Agency headquarters on Tuesday and was responsible for several Maryland highway shootings. | |
Federal officials said shots were reported near an exit on the Baltimore-Washington Parkway to Fort Meade, site of the spy agency. No injuries of NSA personnel were reported. | |
“We believe the subject responsible for shooting incidents on the [Inter-County Connector], near Fort Meade army installation and other locations around the Baltimore-Washington metro area in the last two weeks is in custody,” FBI spokeswoman Amy Thoreson said in a statement. | |
Officers found damage to an NSA building “and they are investigating if it is damage from shots fired”, US park police spokeswoman Sergeant Lelani Woods said. | |
The incident came after Maryland Transportation Authority police reported that two people had suffered minor injuries from shots fired at a vehicle on the Inter-County Connector, a highway about 12 miles from the NSA. |
