So far, Maryland authorities haven't said what motive Prince may have had for walking into the kitchen counter business where he worked in recent months, and firing a handgun at several employees. He then drove to Delaware, where he shot and injured a sixth victim, officials allege.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said Prince was arrested without incident in Newark, Delaware. (For updates on the manhunt and the victims, get news alerts from Bel Air Patch.)

It was "one of the most heinous acts we've ever seen in our county," Harford County Sheriff Jeffrey Gahler said of the Edgewood mass shootings. Watch the press conference on the Bel Air Patch Facebook page.
"This does appear to be a targeted attack," Gahler said, noting that Prince worked at Advanced Granite Solutions in the 2100 block of Emmorton Park Road in Edgewood.

“I feel blessed to work with such an exceptional group of men and women at the Sheriff's Office and greatly appreciate all the assistance rendered to our office today by our local, state, and federal partners," Gahler posted on Facebook Wednesday night. "Our thoughts and prayers go out to those families who lost loved ones today and our prayers for a speedy recovery for the survivors.”

The Wilmington Police Department also searched for Prince in connection with a mid-morning shooting in the 2800 block of Northeast Boulevard in Wilmington, Delaware.

The Wilmington shooting occurred at 10:46 a.m. at a car dealership, and the victim was "conscious and alert" despite being shot in the head, Wilmington Police Chief Robert Tracy said at a press conference Wednesday afternoon.

"These were targeted shootings," Tracy said. "He drove straight from Maryland to that individual."
The victim in Wilmington identified the suspect as Prince by name when police arrived at the scene.
"They have a past history," he said without elaboration. The chief said that he had an idea of the motive in Delaware but did not specify.
