EDGEWOOD, Md. — Multiple people have been injured after a shooting at a business park in Harford County Wednesday morning, authorities said.
Authorities asked the public to avoid the Emmorton Business Park at Emmorton Park Road near Edgewood Road after they received reports of a shooting around 9 a.m.
Shock Trauma said it is evaluating two people who were injured and are listed in critical condition. There is no word yet on the total number of people injured.
Witness Mike Sullivan, with R. E. Michel Company, said he came to work around 7 a.m. He said a client of his company, who has a CB radio, warned him and his coworkers to take cover after reports of an active shooter.
“Right now, it’s total chaos,” Sullivan told WBAL 11 News over the phone.
Sullivan said the area is very populated with dozens of businesses in the area.
“We’re actually locked in right now with three of our clients. We tried to put everybody by a door that has windows,” Sullivan said.
Sullivan they are positioned strategically to see any movement outside, and that someone from the business next door described what preceded the shooting.
“Next door, we have another business that we know pretty well, and as we were outside talking, the guy said that he heard a bunch of arguing that calmed down. Then, he heard a bunch of more arguing. He said it sounded like a big huge fight going on, and then next thing he knew, he heard some noises — didn’t sound like gunshots, or didn’t really think it was gunshots — but the next thing he knew, that’s when all chaos broke out,” Sullivan said.
While the FBI said it is aware of the situation with the shooting and it is providing assistance to the Harford County Sheriff’s Office, an FBI spokesman declined to say what that assistance was. The ATF and several different Police Departments are also at the scene assisting the Harford County Sheriff’s Department.

OK, so this goes right along with the other article on this page of FTTWR about Tucker Carlson’s talk about 43 million immigrants…just look at the names of the people involved with all this: the shooter is 37-year-old Radee Labeeb Prince. 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. His name is Barak Caba.
I taste bile just saying this, but Trump is right. Close the boarders, round up everyone that’s already here and vet them closely.
Oh, good thing we’re getting a crap-load of rags from Australia with mental disorders…they’d NEVER do anything like the guy in this story!! LOL Idiots.
Another shooting. They keep us busy. Being a detective sure can be exhausting.
Sigh…
