Gunman held after 3 die in US shootings

Police arrested a man suspected of killing three people and wounding two on Wednesday at a Maryland business park before shooting another person in neighboring Delaware.

Radee Prince, 37, was caught as he fled on foot in Delaware after a manhunt that saw local Maryland schools locked down and the nearby set of Netflix drama House of Cards reportedly sealed off.

Police said the latest “mass shooting” to hit the United States was a “targeted attack.” “At 7:05pm, a suspect was taken into police custody after a brief foot chase,” said Wilmington, Delaware Police Chief Robert Tracy. He had earlier described Prince as “a dangerous individual. This person shot six people in one day,” in attacks that were not random.

Prince was sought “in connection with both a multiple shooting incident early this morning in Edgewood, Maryland and another shooting incident at mid-morning today” in Wilmington, a police statement said.

Harford County Sheriff Jeffrey Gahler said three people died in the first incident at a granite business.

Gahler said Prince was associated with the company, Advanced Granite Solutions, where the first shooting occurred, near Baltimore.

The incident was the latest mass shooting in America. On October 1, a gunman targeted concert goers in Las Vegas, killing 58 people.
