(Reuters) - Several people were shot on Thursday in Perryman, Maryland, and residents were asked to avoid the area, according to authorities.

"The situation is still fluid," the Harford County Sheriff's Office wrote on Twitter, adding that officers responded to the incident shortly after 9 a.m. EDT (1300 GMT). Agents from the Baltimore office of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) were also headed to the scene, the federal law enforcement agency said.

Perryman is 34 miles (55 km) northeast of Baltimore. The area of the reported shooting includes a church and a business district, and is near the Aberdeen Proving Ground, an Army facility.

When the governor refers to the shooting as "horrific," you tend to expect the worst.

A man who was two blocks from the area told WBAL-TV that dozens of police officers arrived, jumped out of their cars and began to run.

Workers at an auto repair shop in the area said they had locked the doors. There are several businesses in the area that are housed in warehouses.

Officials: Multiple victims in shooting at Aberdeen warehouse complex

"There's a lot of police activity and ambulances and fire engines. They have the whole area blocked off. We've been able to get in and out. We have our business locked down since we're so close. There's not any way to get out of the area, so I can only imagine there's still someone they're searching for," said David Graf, with New German Performance.

Graf said the shooting scene appears to be at a Rite Aid distribution center.

Rite Aid seems to be it

Funny interview there talking to someone and he asked would you have been there and she yeh

but "I called out" -- she aint sick she is up doing interviews

she apparently had been running errands or something cause now she is locked out of her house

just the tone of the way she said "I called out" just cracked me up


and I thought what a way to get busted abusing sick leave or whatever they get!!

Does "secured" mean shooter found? Or that the crime scene is under control/guarded?

CNN did not say shooter in custody
