On a Monday morning in late March 2015, 27-year-old Mya Shawatza Hall, a transgender woman, was shot and killed after driving a stolen Ford SUV onto a restricted exit leading to the National Security Agency campus at Fort Meade, Maryland. Hall and a passenger, Brittany Fleming, had been picked up earlier that morning by a 60-year-old man at a motel in Elkridge; his vehicle was later reported stolen. Confronted by NSA police, Hall allegedly failed to stop and the SUV accelerated toward a police vehicle blocking the road. NSA officers opened fire; the SUV then crashed into the patrol car. Fleming was injured and an NSA officer was reported wounded.

The FBI quickly said the episode was not terrorism-related and opened an investigation to consider federal charges. Reports say Hall and Fleming were in a drug-fueled haze after a party, that a small amount of cocaine and a weapon were found in or near the SUV, and that Hall had prior robbery and assault charges and had recently been released from prison. Some media accounts misgendered Hall in early coverage. No arrests of the officers were reported.

Are there witnesses or additional local details about the events that morning who can add context?
