Two people were shot and one has died after a car tried to ram a gate at Fort Meade, the military installation that houses the National Security Agency, the Washington Post has reported.

The incident happened Monday morning at the base, which is located in Fort Meade, Maryland, between Washington, D.C., and Baltimore. The shooting scene has been contained.

A senior defense official who spoke on condition of anonymity told the Associated Press that the two men were dressed as women.

A spokeswoman for the FBI said the incident is not believed to be linked to terrorism.

The FBI and NSA Police are investigating the matter.
