Frederick Chief of Police Jason Lando speaks during a news conference near Riverside Tech Park Tuesday morning. Lando said a gunman shot two people at the tech park -- both of whom are in critical condition -- before driving to Fort Detrick, where he was killed by Fort Detrick Police.
The alleged shooter Tuesday was spotted on a roadway on the Fort Detrick campus and shot and killed by Fort Detrick authorities. Investigators were searching the scene and his car, which can be seen roped off with police tape, midday Tuesday.

Spin it however you like, three, spin it however you like. The fact remains a lot of you Trump Haters had a lot of egg on your faces when the truth came out. Comprende?

Maybe we need to rethink our military. We are not in danger of being invaded by any other country's military. It seems clear to me that we need to cut the military budget by significantly reducing purchase of expensive weapon systems (e.g., how many aircraft carriers or submarines do we need to defend an invasion of the U.S.) and by reducing the number of active personnel. We need to increase the amount of money available to take care of our veterans and address issues caused (i.e., PTSD, exposure to chemical weapon wastes, etc.) by their service. Why is it that a mass shooter is more than twice as likely to be a veteran compared to their percentage of the general population? The military also needs to be more selective with who they accept into the military.
Great job by the FPD, Chief Lando, and all partner agencies. Why does the Mayor feel the need to wear sunglasses and a baseball hat at the press conference? Very unprofessional and disappointing.
I'm sure I sound like a jerk, but what did any of them do? The base took care of the shooter, who probably wasn't very hard to identify if he was driving his own car. Seems like a ton of money and time got wasted today.
For those of us who live and work on or near the base, it is a huge deal, and most of us wanted official responses from the military and from the city.
Was the gate the closed one off Porter St or the main one, Nallin Farm Gate? I'm confused where he tried to enter the base. The article says "Nallin Pond Gate"
Has it not occurred to you the shooter may be someone people know. I live just across the Pike from the Nallin gate. It’s more than “interesting,” it’s real to some of us.
My husband works over at Ft. Detrick & couldn't get anywhere near the campus at 9AM this morning. He said it wouldn't surprise him if the shooter was an employee (as opposed to some outsider,) because of a very loud secured building alarm that he could hear going off.
The press conference is going on, can't hear the speakers! Plus they didn't link to it in the story, or on the twitter announcement of the press conference.
Probably someone who works at Detrick called in to WFMD, right? It is quicker to report that over the radio than to verify the story, write an article, and post it online.
There were reports of the shooting before he got back to FD. Frederick Scanner had it quickly, so why isn't FNP (who has a partnership with FS) monitoring their feed and then reporting? Schools were in lockdown before they ever posted a "breaking news" banner.

"Significant precedent" ? Really? Lay that out for us all please.

Um, nobody but you cares what the mayor was wearing.

Nallin off Opossumtown.

“Nallin” has two L’s.

Shooter drove from Riverside Corporate Park to Ft Detrick. Jeez.
Mayor O'Connor was very disappointing at the press conference. Where is your compassion and why would you wear sunglasses?
And why did he have to be involved?

CD, you should immediately move somewhere that news is online faster.
I’m looking for a place where we get the news an hour before it actually happens! ;-)
Try a palm reader or one of those Zoltar machines like in Big.
Go to Fox or Newsmax. If they don't know, they just make it up. If they do know, they still make it up.
Jth[thumbup]
Why all the cops at Ft Detrick then?.
That's where they're staging.
Shooter tried to access the base...Garrison took him down.
Shooter went to Detrick, and was shot by the MP's
Does FNP news crew not work until 9:45? Every news organization but our local paper had this 45 minutes ago.
Frederick Scanner....that was pretty fast too.
No, because the reporters don’t return from delivering the paper routes till 1030
[thumbup] With declining subscriptions suspect they will be done by 0600 very soon.
The F'n P strikes (again) (out) (pick one). They'll be up to date as soon as the AP gets here.
This was announced on WFMD an hour before it was here.
Probably someone who works at Detrick called in to WFMD, right? It is quicker to report that over the radio than to verify the story, write an article, and post it online.

CD, I don't think WFMD verifies anything.
"I don't think" are your key words, three.
Thanks CD. Like I said you never fail to disappoint.
So threecents, do you think that a radio station is going to just broadcast something that someone calls in without verifying it first?
The FNP reporters call it into WFMD so they can listen in and hear how to write the story.
[thumbup][lol][lol]
Thanks Bosco.
