Two of the those killed died at the scene while the third passed away at hospital.

The three injured people are expected to survive.

Moseley also died at hospital after being fatally injured by a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Harford County Sheriff’s Office are working to establish a motive but Sherriff Jeffrey R Gahler said terrorism was not a likely possibility.

They have cleared and searched the 210,000 square foot facility for additional victims and information but believe the suspect acted alone.
