A suspect believed to be responsible for the separate shooting incidents on the ICC and near the NSA at Fort Meade, as well as other locations in the DC-Baltimore area over the last two weeks, is in custody, FBI Public Affairs Specialist Amy J. Thoreson said in a statement early Wednesday.

Late Tuesday evening, WBAL-TV in Baltimore reported shootings in Howard, Prince George's and Anne Arundel counties during the past week may be related.

A man was grazed by a bullet in Hanover last week, and Anne Arundel County Police had released surveillance video of a possible suspect vehicle.

Two shootings were reported Monday; one at a Wal-Mart in Laurel and another near an AMC Theater in Columbia.

Around 3 p.m. Tuesday, two men driving along the Maryland Intercounty Connector (ICC) near Interstate 95 were struck by bullets, likely fired from nearby woods. Both are expected to be OK.

About two hours later, U.S. Park Police investigated a report of shots fired near the National Security Agency's headquarters in Fort Meade.
