 FBI agents from Baltimore are investigating a firefight Monday morning outside a gate at the National Security Agency, where two men dressed as women apparently tried to force their sport utility vehicle past security. Its driver, in what authorities believe could have been a mistake, took a restricted exit leading to a security post at the sprawling campus of the National Security Agency at Fort Meade, Md. The agency says one person inside the unauthorized vehicle died at the scene, while the other was taken to a local hospital with injuries. An NSA officer also was injured, though officials did not say how. 1 of 8 Full Screen Autoplay Close Skip Ad × 1 person fatally shot after car rams gate at NSA View Photos Officers at the agency’s headquarters in Maryland fired on the two people in the vehicle.

 Fort Meade's commander says one person was killed and another injured when they tried to drive a vehicle into the National Security Agency portion of the installation without authorization.

One man was killed and another critically injured after officials said they tried to ram their SUV through a gate that serves as the entrance to the NSA just off the scenic Baltimore-Washington Parkway. A spokeswoman for the Baltimore office of the FBI, Amy J. Thoreson, said early in the investigation that authorities “do not believe [the incident] is related to terrorism.” A law enforcement official said: “This was not a deliberate attempt to breach the security of NSA. Details about how the incident began were pieced together with information from several law enforcement officials and others familiar with the case, who spoke on the condition they not be named in order to discuss a pending case.

 Mary Phelan, a spokeswoman for the Howard County Police Department, says the car involved in the NSA shooting was stolen Monday morning from a hotel in Jessup, Maryland. The encounter at the NSA occurred shortly before 9 a.m., when the vehicle entered the NSA complex in Anne Arundel County and “failed to obey an NSA police officer’s routine instructions for safely exiting the secure campus.” The statement said security barriers were raised. One official said the vehicle struck a security officer and the security barrier. The agency says the unauthorized vehicle then accelerated toward an NSA Police vehicle blocking the road, and police fired at them when the driver refused to stop, crashing into the police vehicle. FBI spokeswoman Amy Thoreson says an "Evidence Response Team" is processing the crime scene and that FBI agents are interviewing witnesses. He says "the residents, service members and civilian employees at the installation are safe" and that Fort Meade will "continue to remain vigilant at all of our access control points." It houses other federal agencies in addition to the NSA, including the Defense Information School, the U.S. Army Cyber Command and various military intelligence offices. This month, a Beltsville man was arrested in a string of shootings at public buildings around suburban Maryland, including one shooting at an NSA building just east of the Baltimore-Washington Parkway. A former prison guard was arrested and named a suspect in the shootings and has told investigators that he was “hearing voices” that told him to fire the shots.
– More pieces of the puzzle are coming together as to why two men reportedly dressed as women rammed an NSA gate yesterday morning, resulting in gunfire and the death of one of the suspects. Police are now speculating that the driver of the stolen Ford Escape may have made a wrong turn and taken a restricted exit to the agency, then panicked because there were drugs inside the car, the Washington Post reports. An NSA officer gave the men instructions on how to get off the campus, an NSA spokesman says, but the driver didn't listen, so barriers were erected, the AP reports; at least one NSA officer started shooting when the car revved up to crash into a police vehicle, the agency adds. It's not uncommon for drivers to think the off-ramp leading to the NSA security post is just a regular Fort Meade exit, an ex-intel officer tells the Daily Beast. In fact, the source notes, "a large number of immigration law violations" have been culled from the accidental trespassers who couldn't come up with the proper ID once they were stopped by NSA agents. The FBI confirms to the Post it doesn't believe this was a terrorist incident, while an unnamed law enforcement source tells the paper, "This was not a deliberate attempt to breach the security of NSA. This was not a planned attack." (Meanwhile, the White House is having issues in putting up a jumper-proof fence.)
