FORT MEADE, Md. (AP) — The warnings are strong and security is tight, but most drivers are versed in the routine as thousands of employees and contractors stream through the gates of the National Security Agency.

The start to the work week came to a halt Monday when two men dressed as women and driving in a stolen SUV ignored officers' orders at a gate at Fort Meade in Maryland. Police fired on the SUV, which rammed into a police vehicle. One suspect was killed. A second suspect was injured, as well as an officer.

Whether the pair wanted to breach the perimeter or the driver was confused in a security-sensitive area only adds to the mystery. The FBI hasn't revealed what the motive might be, except to say it's not believed to be terrorism.
