Authorities arrested the suspect at 7:05 p.m. near Glasgow High School in Newark, Del. after receiving two tips from the public indicating the whereabouts of the suspect and his car in the area.
The suspect initially fled on foot after he saw authorities searching for him and threw his weapon as he ran. He was apprehended shortly after by three agents of the Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) Bureau, police said.
“A suspect was taken into police custody after a brief foot chase from these three agents from the ATF,” Police Chief Robert J. Tracy said during a news conference. “During the foot chase, our suspect did discard a .380 firearm, which has also been recovered.”
Police said Prince was apprehended without incident and without any other people hurt, including any officers involved in the manhunt.
“I’m very glad it came to that conclusion on a very, very sad day.” Tracy said.
The Harford County Sheriff’s Office said the shooting took place at the Emmorton Business Park in Edgewood, located about 20 miles northeast of Baltimore. Shots rang out around 8:58 a.m., according to Gahler.
“We have lost three lives so far this morning in Harford County,” Gahler said at a news conference, adding it was not a random shooting but a “targeted attack.”
All five of the victims are believed to have been employees of Advance Granite Solutions, according to Gahler. Prince is believed to have used a single hand gun in the shooting, he added.
“There’s an individual out there on the loose who committed one of the most heinous acts we’ve ever seen in our county, certainly we consider him armed and dangerous,” Gahler told reporters.
Police later linked Prince to a second shooting in Wilmington, Del., located about 55 miles away. The Delaware shooting took place on the 2800 block of Northeast Boulevard in Wilmington, FOX 29 reported.
The Wilmington Police Department said Prince “is known to have family in the Wilmington area.”
Gahler said Prince worked at Advanced Granite Solutions, a home improvement company, for about four months and was scheduled to be at work Wednesday. The owner of the company, Barak Caba, told The Associated Press he was a machine operator, but was shaken and would not provide additional details.
A former co-worker of Prince’s told The Baltimore Sun that the suspect was also fired from a different job earlier this year after he allegedly attacked a separate employee.
After Prince was fired, the man said Prince came back to the business several times and once went to see him directly and cursed and yelled at him. The co-worker later filed a restraining order against Prince with the Harford County District Court.
In the application for the order, the man wrote: “I felt very threatened because he is a big guy and very aggressive on me.”
The man said Prince did not get physical with him, but wrote: “I do not want to wait until he will.”
A Harford County District Court judge denied the order.
Federal law enforcement officials told Fox News the FBI is assisting local law enforcement partners, and that the shooting “looks like” workplace violence and not a terrorism incident.
Why is the ATF involved in this? Really freaken weird. A very populated area. No Sheriffs, Police? Even FBI? Strange shit.
Maybe he was drunk.
This dude has a very long rap sheet. I mean huge.
Just the look of him makes me wonder why anyone would hire him in the first place.
Large facial scar and the “I’d rather kill you than work for you” visage would give me pause.
Radee Labeeb?! Is that a Lutheran name?
PHenry
I’m shocked he passed the background check yo own a gun.
MFKAP. Murderer formerly known as Prince.
Has anyone axed him what his problem was?
I guess everyone he shot is white. Otherwise, we’d be hearing all about it.
Fresh Prince of Delaware?
Allahu Crack Whore – as always.
… if Obama had a son …..
What is up with all these feds at these shootings? ATF capturing this guy and in LV Campos thanked metro and FBI. If the feds are going to be doing the police work, then why do we have local LE?
I hoped with Trump we wouldn’t be having “work place violence” anymore.
The assault .380 had a barrel shroud and was a silver service revolver Glock with a bump stock.
if the crime was national news, i missed it.
“I’m very glad it came to that conclusion on a very, very sad day.” Tracy said.”
No, the only “glad” conclusion was him killing himself or a police officer doing it. Now we will have a long trial, taxpayers paying out the ass to put this creep behind bars. No one wins except for the shooter. Three hots and a cot, does he care? Nope! I always like to hear that the turd killed themselves.
Aren’t we constantly told that all mass murderers are white men? There must be some mistake; this must be the wrong guy.
Too bad the cops couldn’t have shot him trying to escape.
Looks just like that racist phucka on Faux Newz, only he’s got a beard.
Was he pissed off because he wasn’t made CEO after the conclusion of his 3 month probationary status?
Before Obama and BLM, I daresay the cops would have saved us a lot of money by shooting him instead of chasing him.
“fired from a different job earlier this year after he allegedly attacked a separate employee”
sounds like a human resources problem in the company.
The national news organizations started squelching it when they found out the shooter wasn’t a white conservative.
