text: (CNN) A woman killed three people and wounded three others before fatally shooting herself at a drugstore distribution center Thursday in Harford County, Maryland, officials said. 
   
   A source close to the investigation said the woman was a disgruntled employee. Sheriff Jeffrey Gahler told reporters the woman was a temporary employee and showed up for work at her normal time at the facility near Aberdeen. 
   
   She shot people outside the building and on the warehouse floor, he said. The woman died at a nearby hospital after shooting herself in the head, he said. 
   
   She was identified by the sheriff's office as Snochia Moseley, 26, from Baltimore County. 
   
   Police are still searching for a motive, he added. 
   
   A law enforcement official briefed on the incident said the suspect was at some point a security guard at the Rite Aid support facility where the shooting occurred. 
   
   The suspect used a 9 mm Glock pistol and brought several magazines for the gun, Gahler said at a news conference. The gun was hers and was purchased legally, he said. 
   
   The sheriff wouldn't release any details about the six victims or the shooter, saying that their next of kin were still being notified. 
   
   No law enforcement officers fired shots during their response, he said. Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center received four patients with "priority one gunshot wounds," said spokeswoman Kristin Mears. 
   
   At a news conference, Ray Fang, the hospital's trauma medical director, said two of the victims were stable and doing well, while two remain seriously injured. All the victims were out of surgery, he said. 
   
   Fang declined to provide additional information until he was sure all the victims' families had been notified. 
   
   Rite Aid spokeswoman Susan Henderson said roughly 1,000 employees work at the distribution center, where products are received and processed for delivery. 
   
   "The shooting happened adjacent to the primary building," she said. 
   
   Neighbor: 'It's right on the doorstep' 
   
   Colleen Hendrickson, who lives and works in the area, said she was waiting on the bus when someone told her there had been a shooting nearby. 
   
   "I, of course, thought it was far off or, that's like down the road or something, right?" she told CNN affiliate WJZ . "No, it's right outside. It's right on the doorstep." 
   
   She saw emergency vehicles, including ambulances, and helicopters, which were out of place for the "sleepy" part of the county, she said. The area is home to many warehouses and plants, some belonging to major brands, including makeup and bleach companies. 
   
   "It's really just usually very calm, and this is the most chaotic I've ever seen it," she told the station. "It's very scary when it's just right there on your doorstep because you can see a billion news reports about shooters, about emergency instances, and it still doesn't make it real to you." 
   
   People were being asked to avoid the area just outside the city of Perryman, roughly 30 miles northeast of Baltimore. Homes, churches and a cemetery are in the vicinity. Railroad tracks run alongside a business park. 
   
   It's the third high-profile shooting in the US in two days 
   
   Deputies were dispatched at 9:09 a.m. ET, the sheriff said. They were on the scene in five minutes. 
   
   The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives sent agents from Baltimore. The FBI's Baltimore office is also assisting. 
   
   "We are closely monitoring the horrific shooting," Gov. Larry Hogan tweeted. "Our prayers are with all those impacted, including our first responders. The state stands ready to offer any support." 
   
   A shooting at The shooting came a day after two other shootings that made national news.A shooting at an office complex in Middleton, Wisconsin , left three people hurt Wednesday, and a gunman wounded four people at the Masontown Borough Municipal Center in Pennsylvania later in the day. 
   
   Police killed the shooters in both Wednesday incidents. ||||| A temporary employee at a Rite Aid distribution center in Harford County fatally shot three co-workers and injured three others before killing herself Thursday morning, police said. 
   
   The shooting in Perryman, an unincorporated area of the county near Aberdeen, was one of three to erupt in U.S. workplaces in the space of 24 hours and came less than a year after a gunman killed three fellow employees at another Harford County business. 
   
   Police identified the Rite Aid shooter as Snochia Moseley, 26, who lived in the White Marsh neighborhood of Baltimore County, and said she died in an area hospital where she had been taken. Harford County Sheriff Jeffrey Gahler declined to release the names the victims, saying families were still being notified of their deaths. 
   
   The gun used in the shooting, a 9 mm Glock handgun, was registered and owned by Moseley, he said. 
   
   Employees were shot both inside and outside the distribution center, Gahler said. The motive for the shooting is not yet known. 
   
   Dispatchers received a report of shots fired at the distribution center at 9:06 a.m., Gahler said, and police and emergency personnel arrived just over five minutes later. 
   
   As reports of the shooting circulated, relatives of workers rushed to the area or tried to reach them by phone. Those who were successful said workers told them gunfire suddenly rang out, sending many diving for cover even as they saw their fellow employees struck and falling to the ground. 
   
   Others couldn’t reach their loved ones, and only learned later in the afternoon that they had not been hurt when buses brought them to a makeshift reunification center at the Level Volunteer Fire Co. in Havre de Grace. 
   
   A temporary employee at a Rite Aid distribution center in Harford County fatally shot three co-workers and injured three others before killing herself Thursday morning, police said. 
   
   Andre Cedeno had rushed from his own workplace 25 minutes away to try to see his sister, who was in her second week on the job at the Rite Aid center. Cedeno said she told him she ran inside and hid in a bathroom. 
   
   “She had a panic,” Cedeno said. “It’s crazy that people don’t respect life.” 
   
   Rite Aid employs 1,000 full-time, 300 temporary and 30 part-time employees between two distribution facilities in Perryman. 
   
   The drug store chain is the largest tenant in its building at Enterprise Business Park where the shooting occurred. Other tenants in the building include Maines Paper & Food, a New York-based food service distributor, and Zenith Global Logistics, a trucking company. Clorox has a distribution operation in a building across the parking lot. 
   
   Pete Strella, Rite Aid’s manager of communications, said the retailer closed the center and is assessing when to reopen it. Clorox also halted its operations. 
   
   “Our thoughts and prayers go out to all those involved in this tragic incident, as well as their loved ones,” Strella said in an email. 
   
   Gahler said multiple agencies responded, and no law enforcement officers fired shots. The FBI Baltimore office and special agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms also were assisting in the investigation. 
   
   Two people died on the scene. Four people were taken to Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center in Baltimore and one to Christiana Hospital in Newark, Del. Two died, including the shooter, at Bayview. The other three had non-life-threatening injuries, officials said. 
   
   The shootings mark the latest spasm of gun violence to beset Maryland and other parts of the country. In June, a gunman stormed the Capital Gazette newsroom in Annapolis, killing five staff members. Jarrod Ramos, a Laurel man with a grudge against The Capital, is awaiting trial on 23 charges. In March, a student at Great Mills High School in Southern Maryland shot and killed a 16-year-old classmate and injured a 14-year old boy. 
   
   And Thursday’s shootings come just 11 months after three co-workers were killed at a kitchen countertop company in Edgewood, less than 10 miles away. Two fellow employees were also injured in the October 2017 attack. 
   
   “We stand here yet again,” Gahler said Thursday as he updated the media. 
   
   The Edgewood victims’ co-worker, Radee L. Prince, is awaiting trial in Maryland on murder and firearm charges; he was convicted of attempted manslaughter and other charges for the shooting of a business owner in Wilmington, Del., following the killings in Edgewood. He was sentenced to 40 years in prison for the Delaware shooting. 
   
   On Thursday, the Rite Aid center became the third U.S. workplace to erupt in gunfire in the past 24 hours. 
   
   “Three workplace active shooting attacks in just the last 24 hours should spark outrage in every American,” former U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords said in a statement Thursday. Giffords was shot in the head at a “Congress on Your Corner” event outside a grocery store in the Tucson area in 2011 and has become an anti-gun violence activist. 
   
   “If gun violence feels like it's become an everyday occurrence, that's because it is,” she said. “But every time you hear news of another shooting, remind yourself that this level of gun violence is not normal. No other developed nation experiences this kind of daily heartbreak and horror.” 
   
   Around 11:30 a.m. Wednesday, four people were shot at a software company, WTS Paradigm, in Middleton, Wis., by a 43-year-old co-worker, police said. The gunman was shot and killed by police. Three of the injured were in serious condition as of Thursday morning, one suffered a graze wound. 
   
   Then, around 2 p.m., four people including a police officer were shot after a man opened fire outside a judge’s office in a municipal building in Masontown, Pa. The suspect, Patrick Dowdell, 61, was shot and killed by police. Dowdell had a preliminary hearing scheduled for Wednesday on domestic charges of strangulation, aggravated assault and terroristic threats from an incident several weeks ago, according to news reports. 
   
   Gov. Larry Hogan said he had been “closely monitoring” the Harford County situation during the day. 
   
   “The First Lady and I are grieving for the loss of life in today's shooting in Harford County, and praying that those who were injured fully recover,” he said in a tweet. “I remain in close contact with Harford County officials and state and local law enforcement as they continue to investigate.” 
   
   Church Creek Elementary School, a few miles away from the shooting scene, had been placed on a modified lockdown Thursday. 
   
   When a bus pulled up to the reunification center with Rite Aid workers on board, joy broke out as those waiting outside spotted familiar faces. One woman ran forward with outstretched arms and shouted in glee. ||||| Officials: Woman Kills 3, Injures 3 Before Taking Her Own Life In Aberdeen Shooting 
   
   A woman shot and killed three people, and wounded three others before taking her own life at a Rite Aid warehouse in Aberdeen on Thursday. 
   
   Harford County Sheriff Jeffrey R. Gahler wasn't ready to identify the 26-year-old in a Thursday afternoon press conference, but said she was a temporary employee whose last known address was in Baltimore County. Authorities do not yet have a motive. 
   
   Authorities later confirmed the 26-year-old woman is Snochia Moseley. Prior to that, the 11 News I-Team's Lisa Robinson reached a woman believed to be related to the suspect via telephone. The woman hung up saying, "I just lost my daughter." 
   
   Moseley has no prior criminal record. Online court records only show a slew of unresolved traffic cases and a civil case related to an unpaid Baltimore County tax bill. 
   
   Investigators believe the shooting began outside Rite Aid's Perryman Distribution Center in the business park at 1501 Perryman Road, then moved inside, Gahler said. The call came into police at around 9:06 a.m., Gahler said. Gahler said deputies are working to establish a timeline of the shooting.

   Investigators believe the shooting began outside Rite Aid's Perryman Distribution Center in the business park at 1501 Perryman Road, then moved inside, Gahler said. The call came into police at around 9:06 a.m., Gahler said. Gahler said deputies are working to establish a timeline of the shooting. 
   
   Deputies and other first responders arrived just over five minutes later. Law enforcement officers paired up with medics, rendered first aid and attempted to locate suspects, Gahler said. The shooter was found with a self-inflicted gunshot wound and died at an area hospital. Two victims were pronounced dead at the scene. 
   
   The shooter used a single handgun registered to her and multiple magazines, Gahler said. He didn't say how many shots were fired, but said none were fired by law enforcement. 
   
   Company officials were told about the shooting by someone inside the building. Some 1,000 people work at the facility. 
   
   "We are continuing to work closely with authorities as they conduct their investigation," Rite Aid spokesman Peter Strella said. "The facility has been closed and we are assessing when it will be reopened. Grief counselors will be made available to our associates and will remain available as long as they are needed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all those involved in this tragic incident, as well as their loved ones.”

   There is a family reunification center at the Level Fire Company at 3633 Level Village Road in Havre de Grace. 
   
   The Harford County Emergency Operations Center is partially activated due to the situation and the Harford County Information Hotline at 410-838-5800 has been activated for people trying to get in touch with family and loved ones. 
   
   Four gunshot victims were taken by ambulance to Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center, trauma director Dr. Raymond Fang said. Some patients needed surgery, Fang said, with two in stable condition as of 2:39 p.m. and two "very seriously injured." 
   
   One other victim is in serious condition at Christiana Hospital in Newark, Delaware. 
   
   County Executive Barry Glassman said Gov. Larry Hogan has offered all available assistance. State troopers and federal agencies were part of the response. Glassman made reference to last year's fatal mass shooting at an Edgewood granite company. 
   
   "Unfortunately, in today's world, we have active shooter drilling and drills, and I can tell our Harford County citizens that every agency performed at the top of their profession," Glassman said. "I am thankful to all the agencies that came out to help us today to get through this, which is becoming too often an occurrence in Harford County and also the country." 
   
   A witness, Bo, who did not want to share his last name, described the scene. 
   
   "We were like two blocks over when we got completely bombarded by -- I'm not exaggerating -- 20-30 cops, and then ambulances and everything started pouring in. At that point, they blocked us in and we tried to turn around," Bo said. "They're telling us that there is an active shooter." 
   
   Alexi Scharmann told WBAL-TV 11 News her mother works inside the Liberty building at the distribution center. She said her mother texted her that there is a shooter inside the building. 
   
   "Everybody there is so tight-knit. There's not that many people that work there. Everybody is so nice over there, that's why it's a shock," Scharmann said. 
   
   While there is security and metal detectors in an adjacent building, Scharmann said the Liberty building where her mother works does not have the same safeguards. 
   
   Scharmann said she heard from her mother in a text at 10:33 a.m., saying "I am outside and safe. I love you." 
   
   Witnesses and survivors are being taken to a community center in Havre de Grace, Scharmann said. 
   
   Bo, who said he lives on Aberdeen Proving Ground, said the area is wooded and has nearby schools. 
   
   "This happened inside the warehouse (on Perryman Road)," Bo said. "They called a bunch of EMS and they told us they were carrying out another five victims." 
   
   Bo said the response from police and paramedics was swift. 
   
   "We didn't know what to do. They were coming in groups of 10. I am not joking, and they were running people off the road. There was even an accident and a head-on collision dead in front of us at a stoplight because they were literally throwing people off the road. They were going," Bo said. 
   
   Church Creek Elementary School is on modified lockdown as a precaution. 
   
   White Marsh Volunteer Fire Company said its paramedics are responding to the incident. 
   
   Zenith Freight Services, Maines Paper and Food Service and TRUaire Registers and Grilles share the large building with Rite Aid. The Clorox Company Warehouse is directly adjacent to the building the Rite Aid is in. 
   
   The Perrywood Garden Apartments complex is across from the Rite Aid past Perryman Road on Spesutia Road. Officers were seen near those apartments along Mayberry Drive.

   The Associated Press contributed to this report.
target: – News that a shooting left multiple people dead may sound depressingly familiar, but the one outside Baltimore on Thursday is unique in at least one way: The shooter was female. Police say the 26-year-old woman, who has not been identified, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. Harford County Sheriff Jeff Gahler said she was a temporary employee at the Rite Aid distribution center where the shooting took place, reports the Baltimore Sun. Police say the suspect killed three people, and three others remain hospitalized with wounds not believed to be life threatening. Details and developments: When, where: The Rite Aid distribution center where the shooting took place is at a business complex in Perryman, about 30 miles from Baltimore, reports WBAL. Deputies got there at 9:06am, within 5 minutes of the first call, said the sheriff. He said that deputies fired no shots and that the shooter used a 9mm Glock semiautomatic handgun. Why: Police aren't speculating about a motive. “Normally, she was a nice person, but she came in in a bad mood,” Mike Carre, an employee at a nearby business, tells the Washington Post, recounting what Rite Aid workers told him. "She wanted to pick a fight," he said. "And then she started shooting.” CNN quotes a law enforcement official who describes her as a disgruntled employee; the site says she worked there as a security guard. The woman lived in Baltimore County, and the gun was legally registered to her.
