In light of the police Twitter information, the suspect is dead. They said she fatally shot herself.
1,000 employees are reportedly employed at the facility, which is located north of Baltimore.

“This is part of a large facility that is a distribution center. The shooting happened adjacent to the primary building,” Henderson said.
