Harford County Sheriff Jeffrey Gahler identified the shooter as 37-year-old Radee Labeeb Prince. He said Prince opened fire with a handgun and then fled the Emmorton Business Park in Edgewood.
Police were looking for him, and he was considered armed and dangerous. The sheriff did not release a motive for the shooting.
The owner of a home improvement company in the office park said the victims and the suspect all worked for him at Advanced Granite Solutions.
Barak Caba told The Associated Press in a brief telephone interview that the suspect has been an employee for four months. He said the man was a machine operator.
Caba was shaken and would not provide additional details.
The wounded were in critical condition, according to a spokeswoman for the University of Maryland Medical Center’s R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore.
The FBI is assisting local authorities to find Prince. Investigators are currently treating the shooting as a case of workplace violence and don’t see ties to terrorism, said Dave Fitz, a spokesman for the Baltimore FBI field office.
Nearby schools have been locked down as a precaution.
The business park is just south of the Interstate 95 interchange with Route 24.
another win for the NRA
Guns enable people to kill others.
very sad that so many disputes are fought via guns
Another disgruntled Hillary supporter
What was his religion of choice?? Any reason why the media isn’t reporting it?
Anyone from the Baltimore Ravens going to take a knee to protest this senseless violence being perpetrated the African community??
I did a search on the name. Here as an example of “heavy” states:
> In March 2015, he was charged by the Cecil County Sheriff’s Office with having a handgun in a vehicle, illegal possession of a firearm, illegal possession of ammo, all misdemeanors, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, which is itself a felony. It is not clear what his previous felony conviction was for. Like the traffic cases, prosecutors declined to pursue the case in June 2015.
One must wonder if the fact that his skin colour is darker than most European skin is a factor in why so many charges (this was just one example) were never prosecuted.
