911 Calls From Edgewood Office Park Shooting Shows Chaos That Erupted

BALTIMORE (WJZ)-- Two survivors from the Edgewood office park shooting continue to recover at Shock Trauma as recently released 911 calls show the chaos that day in Harford County.

Just before 9 a.m. Wednesday, October 18, the calls flooded into 911.

[CALLER: Someone just ran down the road and said somebody was shot. Advanced Granite Solutions. Somebody's been shot.]

[OPERATOR: At Advanced Granite Solutions?]

[CALLER: Yes. I just saw three guys running down the road and they're running away from it, and they said somebody was shot, and I'm calling for them.]

"Deputies were on the scene within four minutes, arriving at 9:02 a.m., where they discovered five people suffering from gunshot wounds," said Harford County Sheriff Jeffrey Gahler the day of the incident.

Calls came from people at nearby hotels who were frightened--not knowing where the shooter was.

[CALLER: He just said somebody killed somebody.]

[OPERATOR: Harford County 911.]

[CALLER: Somebody had killed someone.]

[OPERATOR: OK.]

[CALLER: I'm sorry. I have a guest near me. I'm trying not to set off panic.]

[OPERATOR: I'm just making sure that my staff is safe because I don't know where he went.]

Employees of Advanced Granite Solutions called for help from the parking lot.

[OPERATOR: It's 911. Hello...]

[CALLER: Uh, I'm at work and somebody just came in and started shooting.]

[OPERATOR: We have help on the way, OK. Are you safe and out of danger?]

[CALLER: Uh, I'm outside with a couple of guys. We're behind the dumpster.]

[OPERATOR: OK. Where's the shooter?]

[CALLER: We don't even know.]

It was almost 10 hours before ATF agents from Baltimore arrested accused shooter Radee Prince alive, walking down a street, smoking a cigar, less than 40 miles away in Newark, Delaware.

[OPERATOR: Did you see any of the victims that were actually shot? Do you know how many people are hurt?]

[CALLER: I heard it was, uh, two or three. I'm looking in right now. It looks like I see one person laying down.]

Prince is charged with killing three co-workers, and wounding two others inside the granite business--then later shooting a family friend in Delaware.

He'll face trial in Delaware first, before being extradited later to face justice in Maryland.
