Snochia Moseley ID'd as Maryland Rite Aid Warehouse Shooting Suspect: Reports

Snochia Moseley was identified as the suspect in the mass shooting that left three people dead on Sept. 20 at a Rite Aid distribution warehouse in Maryland.

NBC News, citing local officials, reported that Moseley, 26, was the shooter. Moseley, a temporary employee from Baltimore, shot herself in the head after the shooting.

Officials said that she came to work as usual at 8 a.m. local time and began shooting around one hour later, the report said.

Investigators are now looking for a motive. Harford County Sheriff Jeffrey R. Gahler said that “it was not her first day” at work, and he added that it’s not clear how well Moseley knew her victims.

Two of the victims died on the scene, and one person died later at the hospital, NBC reported.

The Harford County Sheriff’s Office tweeted, “Deputies were dispatched to the reported shooting at 9:09 a.m.” It added: “We can confirm there was a shooting in the area of Spesutia Road and Perryman Road. Multiple victims. The situation is still fluid.”

Zenith Freight Lines, TruAire, the Clorox Company, and Maines Paper & Food Service are also located at the same business park where the Rite Aid distribution center is located.

A law enforcement official also told Fox News that the suspect may have been a woman. The incident is no longer an active shooter situation as of 11:30 a.m. local time.

“The distribution center is where products are received and processed for delivery,” said Rite Aid spokeswoman Susan Henderson to CNN. “The shooting happened adjacent to the primary building.”

“I, of course, thought it was far off or, that’s like down the road or something, right?” Colleen Hendrickson, who lives nearby, told CNN. “No, it’s right outside. It’s right on the doorstep.”

“It’s really just usually very calm, and this is the most chaotic I’ve ever seen it,” she added. “It’s very scary when it’s just right there on your doorstep because you can see a billion news reports about shooters, about emergency instances, and it still doesn’t make it real to you.”

Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan commented on the incident.

“We are closely monitoring the horrific shooting in Aberdeen. Our prayers are with all those impacted, including our first responders. The State stands ready to offer any support,” Hogan tweeted.

Aberdeen and Perryman are located about 30 miles northeast of Baltimore.

Agents from the Baltimore offices of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the FBI also responded, the agencies said.

The shooting occurred a day after a man shot and wounded four people, including a police officer, at a Pennsylvania court building before he was killed by police, according to Pennsylvania State Police.
