The U.S. Navy released an initial statement saying there was an “active shooter incident” at Fort Detrick “involving U.S. sailors” and that the shooter, a Navy medic assigned to the base, was killed. Fort Detrick officials later confirmed that the man who was killed on base was the same person who shot the two people at the business park.
The two people who were shot at the business park were critically wounded and flown to the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore, Lando said.
Jeremy Mutschler, director of marketing for Nicolock Paving Stones, said that his understanding is that the shooting happened near the company’s Frederick location but not at the business itself.
