One person was killed near the headquarters of the National Security Agency on Monday after a car tried to ram a barrier at the Fort Meade military base, according to law enforcement officials. Preliminary reports said a vehicle carrying two men tried to crash the base's main gate, and an ensuing gunfight killed one and wounded at least one more person. "The shooting scene is contained and we do not believe it is related to terrorism," the FBI said in a statement.
