Social Security Administration Locked Down After Shooting

The Social Security Administration campus was locked down Monday after an employee was shot nearby.

Baltimore police told the AP that the shooting was part of robbery that took place around 11:45 a.m. on Monday on Walden Circle, near the SSA campus.  Authorities put the SSA's campus on lockdown because the shooter entered a wooded area close to the campus and has not been found.

The lockdown was lifted about 2 p.m. The shooter is believed to have run away.

The victim, who was on his lunch break, was taken to Sinai Hospital of Baltimore with non-life-threatening injuries.

Almost 12,000 people work at the complex.
