The National Security Agency says one of its officers fired on a car whose driver refused to obey instructions for safely exiting a restricted area.

An NSA statement says two people were in the vehicle that attempted to make an unauthorized entry to the agency’s campus at Fort Meade, Maryland.

The agency says “the driver then failed to obey an NSA Police officer’s routine instructions for safely exiting the secure campus. The vehicle failed to stop and barriers were deployed.”

The agency says the unauthorized vehicle then accelerated toward an NSA Police vehicle blocking the road, and police fired at them when the driver refused to stop, crashing into the police vehicle.
