3 dead in US shooting

People gather across the street from the scene of a shooting at a business park in the Edgewood area on Wednesday.
A suspect in shootings in Maryland and Delaware on Wednesday that left three people dead and three others injured was caught in Delaware after a manhunt, authorities said.


Radee Labeeb Prince, 37, is accused of killing three people and wounding two others at his job in Maryland on Wednesday morning. Police say he shot a sixth person about two hours later at a Wilmington, Delaware, car dealership.
Prince was caught in Newark, Delaware, according to the Harford County Sheriff's Office in Maryland.

A law enforcement official involved in the investigation told CNN authorities got a tip on Prince's whereabouts and flooded the area. Three agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives spotted Prince walking around a neighborhood, smoking a cigar, the source said.

The agents confronted the suspected gunman, who tossed a gun as he took off running. Prince was caught a few blocks away, after a brief chase, the source said.
Authorities recovered a gun that matched the caliber of shells found at the Maryland crime scene, the source said.
