Howard County police told 11 News on Monday that the vehicle was stolen Monday morning from a hotel off Route 1 in Jessup.On Tuesday, Howard County police released more information about the SUV, saying it was reported stolen from the Terrace Motel in the 6200 block of Washington Boulevard in Elkridge around 8:30 a.m.Howard County police said the SUV's owner, a 60-year-old Baltimore man, told police he had picked up the two suspects and had driven them to the motel, where he checked in around 7:30 a.m. After an hour, the suspects left the room and took the victim's SUV.VIDEO: Witness describes seeing suspects before gate-crashingOne man who said he was in the area at the time said he witnessed something odd right before the incident."This SUV he pulls on the side of the road and some guy come out of the bushes dressed in a rag around his head and it looks like he had a skirt on," the man said.The man said the people in the SUV were screaming loud as they sped toward the NSA security gate.VIDEO: Transgender community reflects on Hall's lifeMembers of the transgender community went to what they call "The Bando" on Tuesday. It's an abandoned apartment building where Hall lived in the 2200 block of North Charles Street in Baltimore.Jamia Leonard said she has known Hall for about eight months."It's overwhelming to me. It's an eye-opener, first of all, because that could have been anybody being in a situation like that, not to say that just anybody would steal a car, but we could be in a bad situation and not in a good head-space," Leonard said. "I'm sure that they didn't leave their house knowing that they wouldn't come home that day or that that would be the end."Leonard said she saw Hall about 12 hours before the incident at the NSA."In the last couple of days, I knew something was wrong. I didn't know exactly what was going on but I could hear him talking out of his head. He would travel from this abandoned house to another high-rise right down the street back and forth, and back and forth," Leonard said. "It's terrible that she lost her life, it's terrible that the cops had to be involved. At the end of the day, this doesn't solve anything, it's just another tragedy and it's unfortunate."Fort Meade community alarmedFort Meade is the headquarters for the NSA and other intelligence and cybersecurity agencies. The 8-square-mile campus is also home to 10,000 military personnel, some of their family members and civilians.The attempted unauthorized intrusion of one of the NSA gates and subsequent shooting has many rattled."It's weird that you never know if it is going to be Joe Schmoe or if it is actually going to be somebody that's working there or just somebody that's angry at whatever the government is doing. That's the confusing thing," said Angie Pietrusza, of Anne Arundel County.More than 8,000 contractors work on the post. They know firsthand how tight security is on a daily basis."We have to go through checkpoints all the time. We have a construction vehicle pass so we can go through most of the gates, but then if it is a commercial vehicle, we have to go through a checkpoint where they have dogs sniffing," said Tommy Benton, a contractor from North Carolina.The high school on campus immediately put out an alert to faculty and staff that an incident had occurred. School was in session to make up for a snow day."It's a little scary, I think, that sometimes we forget that we are on a military base and there are outside threats," said Xiomara Patel, who works at Meade Senior High School.Traffic was backed up for miles on nearby Route 295 as NSA police secured a perimeter around the scene.Refresh wbaltv.com and our app, and watch 11 News for late-breaking updates.
