Two men tried to ram the main gate at the headquarters of the National Security Agency at Fort Meade, Maryland today, according to a federal law enforcement official. An NSA police officer shot one of the men dead and seriously injured the second.
The incident took place near one of the gates to the complex, far from the main buildings.
In addition to the headquarters of the NSA, Fort Meade is home to 95 units from all branches of the armed forces and offices that report to several Defense Department agencies, according to the U.S. Army, which operates the base.
About 11,000 military employees and 29,000 civilians work there, according to the Army.
