The Baltimore Sun also reports that a car was set on fire in the station's parking lot though police have not said whether or not the two incidents are connected. 

Police evacuated the office and set up a perimeter, and a short time later, the man exited the building. When he refused to comply with police orders, according to media reports, a police sniper shot the suspect, wounding him.
