At least 3 shot dead at Maryland business park; suspect captured

Sept. 20 (UPI) -- At least 3 people were killed in a shooting Thursday at a Rite Aid distribution facility near Baltimore, authorities said.

The shooter was captured and is being treated at a hospital, Hartford County Sheriff Jeffrey Gahler said in a news conference. None of the responding officers fired a shot, he said. A total of five people were transported to area hospitals.

Sources told CNN and The Baltimore Sun that the shooter is a woman.

The shooting occurred in a business park in Aberdeen, about 25 miles northeast of Baltimore.

CNN reported at least three dead. Fox 5 also reported 3 dead and WBAL-TV reported multiple deaths.

Gahler did not give an answer when asked how the suspect was injured.

The shooting happened in a Rite Aid support facility adjacent to its primary warehouse. The company employs about 1,000 people at the site.

Agents of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the FBI were called to the scene.

Gov. Larry Hogan said his office is "closely monitoring" the situation.

"Our prayers are with all those impacted, including our first responders," Hogan tweeted. "The state stands ready to offer any support."
