Authorities received reports of a shooting at about 9am local time, WBALTV11 reports. The suspect is believed to have fled in a black Chevrolet Arcadia with Delaware plates.
“If anyone sees the suspect, he’s armed and dangerous,” said Sheriff Jeffrey Gahler in a press conference, adding that authorities “don’t believe others were involved.”
Gahler told reporters the suspect is Radee Labeeb Prince, a 37-year-old black male, and showed media the suspect’s photograph. He’s believed to be associated with the business, police said.
“It does appear to be a target attack, limited to that business,” Gahler said.
“On the advice of the Harford County Sheriff’s Office, these schools are currently on modified lockdown due to an incident in the surrounding community,” the Harford County school district said. “The modified lockdowns are being conducted in an abundance of caution. The modified lockdown requires students to remain in the building, with no outside activities.”
