Two cross-dressing men who were shot at by National Security Agency police when they disobeyed orders at a heavily guarded gate had just stolen a car from a man who picked them up for a motel “party”, police said Tuesday.
One suspect was killed and the other was injured, along with an NSA police officer, as the driver of the stolen SUV apparently tried to get away from the guards.
The SUV’s owner, a 60-year-old man from Baltimore who has not been publicly identified, told investigators that he had picked up the two strangers in Baltimore. They arrived around 7.30am on Monday to “party” at the nearby Terrace Motel in Elkridge, Howard County police said.
A police spokeswoman, Mary Phelan, told the Associated Press on Tuesday that she “can’t confirm there was any sexual activity involved”, and declined to elaborate on whether drugs or alcohol were part of their “party”.
About an hour after checking into a room, the SUV owner told police he went to the bathroom, and when he came out, the others were gone, along with his car keys. He called police to report the stolen car, and minutes later, just before 9am, the men took a highway exit that leads directly to a restricted area at the NSA entrance at Fort Meade.
The FBI said on Monday that agents do not believe terrorism was their motive. No one has explained yet why the men ended up outside the NSA. However, the new timeline suggests they may have simply taken a wrong turn while fleeing the motel, about 12 minutes away.

Shots were fired Monday morning after two people in a vehicle tried to ram a gate at Fort Meade, a military installation in Anne Arundel County, according to an official with knowledge of the investigation.
One person was killed and at least one other person was injured, according to two law enforcement officials. Few other details were immediately available about the incident which occurred around 9 a.m.
Anne Arundel County Fire officials confirmed that they had sent units to NSA’s facility but said they could not release any information because the incident is on the NSA property.
Just before 11 a.m., NSA officials said they had no further information.
