The lone shooter responsible for killing at least three people and wounding several others during a Thursday morning assault on a Maryland distribution center died at the hospital after she shot herself in the head, police said.

The suspect was identified as Snochia Moseley of Baltimore County, the Harford Sheriff announced on Twitter.

In total, four people were killed in the shooting at the Rite Aid distribution center in Aberdeen, including the 26-year-old suspect, Harford County Sheriff Jeffrey Gahler said at a news conference.

Three others who were also shot are expected to survive, he said.

The suspect was identified as Snochia Moseley of Baltimore County, the Harford Sheriff announced on Twitter.

Police responded to the shooting just after 9 a.m. at a distribution center near Spesutia and Perryman roads. Authorities arrived on the scene in just over five minutes of the first call.

Authorities discovered that the suspect was a temporary employee at the center and "had reported for her workday as usual" before shots were fired, Gahler said.

A motive for the "senseless crime" remained unclear, he added.

The suspect appeared to be "armed with one handgun and several magazines," Gahler said, adding that the weapon was owned and registered to her.

"No shots were fired by any law enforcement responder," he said.

The incident is thought to have begun outside before it moved inward and shot individuals were found both inside and outside the business, Gahler said.

A law enforcement official previously told Fox News the shooter may have been a woman and confirmed the incident was no longer an "active shooter" situation as of 11:30 a.m.

An FBI official told Fox News that the suspect's name had been run through the system and didn't find any terror ties.

Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan described the scene as "horrific."

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

He later added that he and his wife were "grieving the loss of life" and "praying that those who were injured fully recover."

"We are wholeheartedly grateful to the first responders who were at the scene in five minutes, and all medical and law enforcement personnel who are helping in the aftermath of this tragic shooting," he tweeted.

FBI Baltimore said it was responding to the scene, and a spokesperson told Fox News one of the bureau's crisis specialist teams was en route.

Aberdeen is located about 30 miles northeast of Baltimore.

In October 2017 Harford police officers were called to a shooting at a granite company in which three people were killed and two others were wounded. The gunman, Radee Prince, opened fire at his workplace in nearby Edgewood, less than 10 miles from Thursday's shooting.

He was captured in Delaware after a 10-hour manhunt.

In July, five people were killed when Jarrod Ramos, 38, launched a “targeted attack” at the Capital Gazette newspaper building in Annapolis.

I wondered why this wasn't all over the news yesterday....black female with a handgun, that's why. This will drop out of the news cycle faster than a lead balloon because this isn't the right narrative when it comes to gun control.

I was sitting in a repair shop Thursday morning as this story unfolded. I knew it wouldn't go far when they mentioned a woman shooter (ethnicity wasn't disclosed yet) and no evil rifle being used.
Even though the shooting was in an industrial park, the reporters kept mentioning that there was a school nearby and they kept showing aerial clips of school buses. The shop had their TV on FOX news.

See Lance's post above, not surprising at all.
