Technically it is on the military reservation. I had to help reconstruct a pedestrian fatal there years ago, but it is all exclusive jurisdiction. NSA PD enforces 32 CFR, just a different section of the code than DoD.
You would have thought the driver got a clue when they drove by MSP sitting at the bottom of the ramp with their lights on working OT. David
We live in a country when a black gang banger is shot by either a white cop or a Hispanic neighborhood watchman the media, POTUS, DOJ, civil rights industry, etc. go full tilt boogie. But when an unarmed thirty something gainfully employed African-American woman is shot and killed by the USSS no one makes a stink of it. That's why it's important to know who the baby daddy is and BTW I'm not the one who brought that particular gate shooting up. Simply commented on it after the fact.

I'm trackin with what you're saying. I just wanted to clarify that the NSA is not Fort Meade proper.
I can tell you that there were more MSP out there in the AM that day than what I'm used to seeing. The most I've seen since I've been down here.
But yeah, you would THINK that would be a clue. Or the big ass sign that says "NSA EMPLOYEES ONLY" at the on ramp.

I get that you didn't originally bring it up. Your comment on biological father is what caught my attention.
There's tons of incidents that happen in this area where nothing is said/done/media craziness takes place.
Same project I'm on right now, 2 weeks prior to this most recent incident, there was a shooter who fired multiple shots at the direction of the NSA. The same shooter put 2 rounds through the front windshield of a work truck with 2 personnel inside that truck. The second round went through the shirt of the passenger. Missed hitting the dude by about a 1/4 inch.
PD eventually caught the dude (Asian background) that day. Said the "voices" told him to do it. Guess how much national press coverage that garnered?

NSA is on Fort Meade. Not in the center, but the property they are on is part of Fort Meade. There are exceptions, as they do rent a lot of commercial buildings in the area that are not part of Fort Meade.
Because of the enhanced security and control access since 9/11 it appears adjacent but it is not.
When I worked there as a badged employee, I had full access to the base from golf courses, to gyms, ranges, ball fields, sports courts, you name it. Even had a DOD/Army ID Badge (in addition to my NSA Badge).
