A gunman opened fire in the US state of Maryland, killing at least three people. Another person was seriously injured in the incident on the grounds of a Smithsburg machine factory, the local sheriff reported via Facebook on Thursday (local time).
Accordingly, the alleged perpetrator fled after the shots. When the police caught him moments later, a firefight ensued, in which the suspect and a police officer were injured. Both are under medical treatment, it said. The background of the crime was initially unclear.
Maryland Governor Larry Hogan confirmed at a news conference that three people were killed. Before the arrest, the suspect shot a police officer in the shoulder, after which the officer fired back. Hogan initially had no details about the suspect’s medical condition.
