FORT MEADE, Md. – The FBI has identified a man fatally shot at a National Security Agency gate after disobeying orders from guards there.

Thoreson says the two men were dressed as women but “not in an attempt to disguise themselves from authorities.”
Authorities say they had stolen a sport utility vehicle minutes before from a 60-year-old man who had picked them up in Baltimore and brought them to a Howard County motel to “party.”
NSA police officers opened fire on the SUV after the men failed to follow instructions for leaving a restricted area.
