The lone shooter responsible for killing at least three people and wounding several others during a Thursday morning assault on a Maryland distribution center was in custody and in critical condition, police said.
A law enforcement official told The Associated Press three people were killed in the shooting at the Rite Aid distribution center in Aberdeen. Raymond Fang, the trauma medical director at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center, said the hospital received four people suffering from gunshot wounds. He did not elaborate on their conditions.
The suspected shooter was in the hospital, though police officers did not discharge their weapons during the incident, officials said.
Police responded to the shooting just after 9 a.m. at a distribution center near Spesutia and Perryman roads. Authorities arrived on the scene in just over five minutes of the first call.
A law enforcement official told Fox News the shooter may have been a woman and confirmed the incident was no longer an "active shooter" situation as of 11:30 a.m.
Second update at 5:45 pm EDT:
The lone shooter responsible for killing at least three people and wounding several others during a Thursday morning assault on a Maryland distribution center died at the hospital after she shot herself in the head, police said.
The suspect was identified as Snochia Moseley of Baltimore County, the Harford Sheriff announced on Twitter.
Authorities discovered that the suspect was a temporary employee at the center and "had reported for her workday as usual" before shots were fired, Gahler said.
A motive for the "senseless crime" remained unclear, he added.
The suspect appeared to be "armed with one handgun and several magazines," Gahler said, adding that the weapon was owned and registered to her.
"No shots were fired by any law enforcement responder," he said.
The incident is thought to have begun outside before it moved inward and shot individuals were found both inside and outside the business, Gahler said.
An FBI official told Fox News that the suspect's name had been run through the system and didn't find any terror ties.
The gun, a 9mm Glock, used in the shooting was legally registered to Moseley.
A friend of Moseley’s wrote on Facebook that the shooter “got into it with some co workers and just started letting off shots.” That friend, citing other workers at the distribution center, said Moseley “was arguing with someone in the break room and just started shooting. Not aiming, just letting off shots in every direction.” That friend added, “I don’t that this was 1 bad day. This was built up rage.”
Maryland court records do not show a history of arrests or convictions for Snochia Teosha Olivia Moseley, only several open traffic cases. Moseley was cited in early September for driving without registration plates and validation tabs, failure to have insurance, driving with a suspended registration. That case was still pending at the time of her death.
Court records also show she was sued in Towson District Court on April 30, 2018, by the Office of Budget & Finance for the City of Baltimore. The case, filed in Towson District Court, is listed as a contract claim and no other details were immediately available. Her address, in that case, is listed as Landmark Court in Essex, Maryland. That case was also still pending with the last hearing occurring on June 22.

Thank goodness it wasn’t any of the worse things we’d imagined.
[KTSM] A federal search warrant reveals that Sunspot Solar Observatory was shut down as FBI agents conducted computer forensic searches for child pornography.
The source of child pornography was traced to an IP address used at the observatory and a source within the building observed a computer with "not good" images on it, the warrant states.
An investigation by the FBI revealed that a janitor is the main suspect in the search, however he has not been charged with a crime even though his name in on the warrant.
The warrant states the suspect would use the observatory Wifi and a personal laptop to download the child pornography.
A limited number of people have access to the observatory from dusk until dawn, which helped narrow their search.
The observatory in the mountains of southern New Mexico had been closed since Sept. 6 because of an undisclosed security concern, but reopened on Monday.

...hmmm...they'll send out the Blackhawks and FBI on possible child p0rn, but national security documents and communications on an offsite unauthorized server, nah.
#2
I am more inclined to believe an earlier supposition that someone was using the antenna array at the observatory to hack nearby sensitive sites and broadcast information.
I think the FBI had suspicions that the culprit(s) were on site.
[All Africa] While investigation into the reported disappearance of US$16 billion as confirmed by Information Minister, Lenn Eugene Nagbe, is yet underway, the government has restricted the movement of individuals who it believes can help solve the mystery of the lost containers.
The Ministry of Information, Culture and Tourism (MICAT) by an executive mandate, in a press release yesterday, ordered all security apparatus, particularly the Liberia Immigration Service (LIS), and the Liberia National Police (LNP) to ensure that former Central Bank Executive Governor, Milton Weeks and his deputy, Charles Sirleaf who is still employed at the CBL, do not leave the country until investigation into the mystery is completed.
Weeks, who headed the CBL under former President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf's administration, has been declared a person of interest to the investigation along with his deputy, Charles Sirleaf, son of former President Sirleaf and thirteen other persons. "The Government takes the ongoing investigation seriously because it has National Security Implications," the release said.
The MICAT press release, signed by Minister Nagbe said "The Government has issued a security circular advising persons of interest who are required to assist with the ongoing investigation into the circumstances surrounding the importation of Liberian Dollar Banknotes into the country between November 2017 and August 2018 not to leave the country."
Mr. George Abi Jaoudi, owner and operator of Abi Jaoudi businesses across the country is another big name wanted by the investigation team and has, therefore, been named as one of the fifteen persons ordered not to leave the country.
"Authorities at all points of entry and exit, including land borders, air, and sea ports have been directed to take due cognizance of the circular," the release further noted. Others wanted by the investigation team which comprises of the Ministry of Justice (MOJ), the LNP and the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) include Richard Walker, Mariea E.G. Toe, Musulyn R.B. Jackson, Ophelia Nyenpan and Oldada Deshield.
The release also named Prince Bull, J. Barquolleh Gabriel, Theodosia B. Jreh, Zinna Davison and Solomon Jaykpah as persons of interest to the investigation who are also not to leave the country.
Kollie Ballah and Andrew Pabai were also listed as persons of interest who are required, as in the case of other persons named, to stay in the country and help with the ongoing investigation.
With the collection of statements from the persons of interest having begun already at the LNP headquarters in Monrovia, CBL former Executive Governor, Milton Weeks is expected to appear before the Police today at 10 a.m. to assist in the investigation.
In a release on Monday September 17, the MoJ said: "Evidence available to the Investigative Team has established that the current administration was not informed about the arrival of the containers and bags of money into the country."

[RT] A young Russian woman has staged a solo protest by pulling up her skirt on the St. Petersburg subway, protesting so-called upskirting ‐ the practice wherein men take pictures under the skirt of an unaware victim.
Russian student Anna Dovgalyuk, who describes herself as a public activist, published a "video manifest" in which a young woman stands in the middle of a series of crowded St. Petersburg subway stations and hikes up her red dress in front of the camera.
"This video is ’dedicated’ to all who love to peek under skirts. On the behalf all women who became your victims ‐ here, look! And stay away from us," the caption on the video reads.
[DAWN] South Korean President Moon Jae-in and North Korean leader Kim Pudge Jong-un ...the overweight, pouty-looking hereditary potentate of North Korea. Pudge appears to believe in his own divinity, but has yet to produce any loaves and fishes, so his subjects remain malnourished... announced a sweeping set of agreements after their second day of talks in Pyongyang on Wednesday that included a promise by Kim to permanently dismantle the North's main nuclear complex if the United States (US) takes corresponding measures, the acceptance of international inspectors to monitor the closing of a key missile test site and launch pad and a vow to work together to host the Summer Olympics in 2032.
Declaring they had made a major step toward peace on the Korean Peninsula, the two leaders were side by side as they announced the joint statement to a group of North and South Korean news hounds after a closed-door meeting on Wednesday morning.
"We have agreed to make the Korean Peninsula a land of peace that is free from nuclear weapons and nuclear threat," Kim said as he stood by Moon's side at the guesthouse where Moon is staying.
"The road to our future will not always be smooth and we may face challenges and trials we can't anticipate. But we aren't afraid of headwinds because our strength will grow as we overcome each trial based on the strength of our nation."
Kim and Moon earlier smiled and chatted as they walked down a hallway and into a meeting room to finalise the joint statement, which also said that the leaders would push for a Korean Peninsula without nuclear weapons and to "eliminate all the danger of war".
They agreed that Kim would visit the South in the near future.
The statement caps off the third summit between Kim and Moon, who is under increasing pressure from Washington to find a path forward in its efforts to get Kim to completely and unilaterally abandon his nuclear arsenal.
But while containing several tantalising offers, it appears to fall short of the major steps many in Washington had been looking for such as a commitment by Pyongyang to provide a list of the North's nuclear facilities, a solid step-by-step timeline or an agreement to allow international inspectors in to assess progress or discover violations.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] The United States is ready to restart negotiations with North Korea "immediately", US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Wednesday, with the aim of completing North Korea’s denuclearization by January 2021.
Pompeo said he had invited North Korean Foreign Minister Ri Yong Ho to meet in New York next week where they are both due to attend the United Nations ...boodling on the grand scale... gathering of world leaders.
The United States has also invited North Korean representatives to meet with the US Special Representative for North Korea in Vienna at the "earliest opportunity", Pompeo said.
Pompeo cited North Korean leader Kim Pudge Jong-un ...the overweight, pouty-looking hereditary potentate of North Korea. Pudge appears to believe in his own divinity, but has yet to produce any loaves and fishes, so his subjects remain malnourished... ’s decision to "complete the previously announced dismantlement of the Tongchang-ri site in the presence of US and international inspectors as a step toward the final fully verified denuclearization of North Korea".
"On the basis of these important commitments, the United States is prepared to engage immediately in negotiations to transform US-DPRK relations," Pompeo said in a statement.
North Korea’s pledge at a summit with South Korean President Moon Jae-in in Pyongyang drew an enthusiastic response from US President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... , even though some US officials and experts fear a ploy to weaken Washington’s resolve and its alliance with Seoul.

Comms 360 says this is the Real Deal. The War is over.
[DAWN] India's government on Wednesday approved an ordinance to implement a top court ruling striking down the Moslem practice that allows men to instantly divorce.
The government decision came after it failed to get approval of parliament a year after the court ruled that the practice of triple "talaq" violated the constitutional rights of Moslem women.
Most of the 170 million Moslems in India are governed by the Islamic law for family matters and disputes.
The laws include allowing men to divorce by simply uttering the Arabic word "talaq", or divorce, three times and not necessarily consecutively, but at any time, and by any medium, including telephone, text message or social media post.
The government will have another six months to get the parliament's approval for the ordinance to become law.

[BBC] The hunt for the final resting place of Captain James Cook's HMS Endeavour may soon be over - in time for the 250th anniversary of its voyage to Australia.
The Endeavour, then known as Lord Sandwich II, was sunk with 12 other ships off Rhode Island, in the US, in August 1778, but no-one was sure where.
Now, following a 25-year archaeological study of the area, the search has been narrowed to just "one or two" sites.
Experts are now hopeful it will be definitively identified by 2020.
That would be just in time for the anniversary of Capt Cook arriving in Australia, following a two-year voyage of discovery which initially set out from Plymouth, England.
The Rhode Island Marine Archaeology Project (Rimap), which has been working with the Australian National Maritime Museum (ANMM), said it would release a "3-D photogrammetric image of a promising site" on Friday.
But it will still be some time until the true identity of the wreck is revealed. "Detailed work" must be done during a planned excavation of the area, just off Goat Island, in 2019, it said in a statement.
"Once excavated it will require sampling, testing of the type of wood and nails, and analysis which won't give us a definitive answer for another 18 months."
Capt Cook set sail on Endeavour - a British-built coal ship - in 1768 on a scientific voyage to map the Pacific Ocean.
It was the ship in which the explorer charted New Zealand and Australia between 1769 and 1771. He arrived off the south-east coast of what is now Australia in 1770, eventually making landfall at Botany Bay.
He later claimed the region for the British crown, despite the presence of large Indigenous communities.
After sailing back to Britain, the Endeavour was renamed Lord Sandwich II and became a troop carrier.
During the American War of Independence it was scuttled by the British Navy with the 12 other ships to form a blockade of the Narragansett Bay.
