FORT MEADE, Md. — Police opened fire on an SUV that tried to crash a gate Monday near NSA headquarters after it rammed one of the agency’s police vehicles and refused to stop, NSA officials said.
One of the occupants of the vehicle died during a firefight that erupted afterward at Fort Meade, where about 11,000 military personnel and 29,000 civilian employees work 25 miles northeast of Washington — including thousands for the National Security Agency — the post’s garrison commander, Col. Brian Foley, said in a statement.
The other man was wounded, Foley said but did not disclose his condition.
Both men in the SUV were dressed as women, according to a senior Pentagon official who is not being identified because of not being authorized to speak about the incident.
