    ABERDEEN, Md. —
    There are several fatalities and injuries after a workplace shooting Thursday morning at a warehouse in Harford County, a law enforcement official tells 11 News.
    Harford County Sheriff's Office officials said deputies were called to reports of a shooting at 9:06 a.m. at the Rite Aid Distribution Center along the 1500 block of Perryman Roads, in the area of Spesutia Road.

    Harford County Sheriff Jeffrey Gahler said deputies and first responders were on the scene in just over 5 minutes, and rendered first aid where appropriate.
    "There's a lot of police activity and ambulances and fire engines. They have the whole area blocked off. We've not been able to get in and out. We have our business locked down, since we're so close. There's not any way to get out of the area," said David Graf, with New German Performance.
    WBAL-TV lead investigative reporter Jayne Miller said a law enforcement source said the shooting suspect is a woman who has been taken to a hospital. She was listed in critical condition. She has also not yet been identified.
    There are multiple fatalities and wounded victims, less than 10, according to a law enforcement official. Several victims were taken Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center, while others were taken to Christiana Hospital in Newark, Delaware. The Associated Press is reporting that three people were killed. No further details about the victims were immediately available.
    White Marsh Volunteer Fire Company said its paramedics responded to the incident.
    Gahler said a single weapon was used in the incident and that no shots were fired by law enforcement at the scene.
    "We have responders here from the federal government who were here within minutes," Gahler said. "You can't have enough police and you can't have them fast enough."
    Harford County Executive Barry Glassman said he provided Gov. Larry Hogan an update on the situation, saying Hogan offer his support on the state level.
    Glassman said that first responders in the county train for this type of incident.
    Witness describe harrowing scene
    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 was 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."
    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.
    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. Motorists are asked to avoid the area.
    No further details were immediately available.

    Multiple fatalities, RIP

    Shooting was in a warehouse, makes me think disgruntled worker or someone mad at their ex.

    Time to ban all guns. And all guys. And all warehouses.

    Can’t have a shooting in a warehouse if there are none.

    What's that stupid argument the guntards always come out with again? "A good guy with a gun always stops a bad guy with a gun"?

    Does that mean that in these mass shootings Americans seem to have a fetish with, none of the people being shot at are good people?

    Time to grow up, America, stop trying to use that puerile list of rules as an excuse to have guns.

    No, it means that the good people getting shot at didn't have a way to defend themselves. There are a fair amount of situations where someone uses a gun to stop someone else with a gun, but they don't make national news because its not a tragedy.

    Or it could just be like other countries that don't have mass shootings at all.

    Right, so that adorable little list of rules they have is null and void anyway.

    The Bill of Rights, are things that our Government cannot take away from us. They are our rights to keep and bear arms for our protection. With the guns we had we fought off the British to create our great country. We also keep the 2nd amendment to protect our first amendment. We are a nation that has the most freedoms in the world. Most of the world does not get it, and that is okay, but here in this country Freedom is what we all have and that is what makes us great.

    People will always do shitty things where there is freedom, but that is a small price to pay. I will take freedom where some PEOPLE do evil things instead of listen to a government that has banned memes in Europe, or china where you can only have 1 child and not talk bad about the government, or even Saudia Arabia where they say religion is free to worship so long as it is Islam.

    If you are not from the USA then I am sorry but fuck off in this discussion about our Constitution.

    I have to wonder the definition of "Mass" in shootings nowadays. Thoughts and prayers for the families of the 3 people who lost their lives. But mass would be a pretty exaggerated report here.

    Also, this was a woman, not a man.

    If nothing more can be said, that is a good indication you don't need a sub forum for it.

    A woman shooter? Her target had to be her ex.
