A firefight has erupted when two people in a car tried to ram a National Security Agency gate at an army installation, killing at least one person, according to preliminary reports cited by two US officials.
An FBI spokeswoman said Monday's incident was not believed to be linked to terrorism.
The two federal officials said at least one of the people in the car died after the firefight ensued. Both spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to discuss an ongoing incident on the record.
The NSA is headquartered on Fort Meade, the sprawling Army installation near Baltimore.
FBI spokeswoman Amy J. Thoreson said the shooting scene is contained.
The agency is working with the US Attorney's Office in Maryland to determine if federal charges are warranted, she said.
Thoreson also says FBI agents are doing interviews with witnesses.
Local television showed two damaged vehicles near a gate and emergency workers loading an injured uniformed man into an ambulance.
