Law enforcement officials familiar with the case said the two men in the vehicle were dressed as women and that they had earlier robbed another man of the SUV from a motel on Route 1 in Howard County.
One of the officials, who spoke on the condition they not be named to discuss a pending case, said the incident began in Baltimore City on Sunday when the three met. The exact circumstances were still being sorted out by police. Several law enforcement officials said the trio spent the night at a Howard County motel.
Two men, dressed as women, at least one of them purportedly a known felon, spend the night at a motel with a third man, from whom they stole an SUV, with cocaine and guns possibly involved, after which they end up driving to Ft. Meade and end up crashing into a police SUV during a gunfight.
I could be wrong, but somehow that doesn't sound like the setup for a typical terror plot, rather it sounds more like Eric Holder's or Tim Cooks people having a typical weekend 'party'. Then again, typical terrorists are not the sharpest knives in the drawer, so who knows...
We had a guy run the west gate at Fort Leonard Wood a couple of years back. He had an AK-47 as I recall and shot up a lot of MPs and other officer’s vehicles.
Turns out he was a recently released felon that was driving up 44 to go rob a bank in the St. Louis area and mistook a detour ahead sign as an indication to exit on the spur that runs into the West Gate. He didn’t know what to do when asked for ID at the gate so he just ran it and started shooting at anyone that tried to stop him.
There is a Ft Meade exit that is kind of surprisingly a dead end of that nature off the divided parkway — I remember it from some years ago. High idiots running and try to ram their way through and out of a box.
Nobody thought the Beltway sniper was a terrorist, either. But after the police turned themselves inside out looking for a supposed white man right-winger, turned out the sniper was an African-American convert to Islam who had seduced a young black boy to help him kill people at random.
