‘House Of Cards’ Production Shut Down Amid Active Shooter Situation Near Baltimore

Production on Season 6 of Netflix’s House of Cards near Baltimore was suspended today after three people were shot dead and two others wounded in what authorities called a “targeted attack” at a business park. The Harford County Sheriff’s Office said the suspect remains at large and that the FBI is involved in the manhunt.

The Harford County Sheriff’s Office said the shooting took place just before 9 AM ET at the Emmorton Business Park in Edgewood, about 20 miles northeast of Baltimore. House of Cards happened to be filming nearby, and filming was halted as a precaution though it appears no one on the set was in immediate danger.

“We have lost three lives so far this morning in Harford County,” Sheriff Jeffrey Gahler said at a news conference. “There’s an individual out there on the loose who committed one of the most heinous acts we’ve ever seen in our county, certainly we consider him armed and dangerous.”

He said all five victims are believed to have been employees of Advance Granite Solutions, a home improvement company. Police believe the suspect is “associated” with the business, but were not sure of his employment status. Advanced Granite’s owner told the Associated Press that the suspect was a machine operator who has been an employee for four months.
