CNBC quoted U.S. Army Garrison Fort Detrick Commander Col. Dexter Nunnally saying, “Our number one priority is the safety of our people. Our emergency responders are well-trained for these types of situations and the fast response of our military police enabled us to contain this threat quickly.”

One of the two wounded sailors is expected to be released from the hospital today. The second is in critical but stable condition.

Breitbart News reported Maryland has stringent gun controls, many of which are contained in the Firearms Safety Act of 2013. That Act banned “assault weapons” and “high capacity” magazines, and put in a place a fingerprinting/registration requirement for new handgun buyers.

The Baltimore Sun pointed out Maryland has a red flag law that took effect October 1, 2018.
