A police chief in Delaware says the suspect in the shooting of six people in Delaware and Maryland, three fatally, discarded a handgun and ran when police spotted him walking in a town.
Wilmington Police Chief Robert Tracy says 37-year-old Radee Prince was arrested by police and federal agents after he had run about 75 feet Wednesday night in Glasgow. No one was hurt in the apprehension.
Prince has been the subject of a multistate search since the shooting Wednesday morning at his job in Edgewood, Maryland.

A man who police say shot six people he knew in Maryland and Delaware, killing three of them, had scared a previous employer so badly that the man tried to get a restraining order against him.
Radee Labeeb Prince remained at large Wednesday after the morning shootings.
A Harford County judge denied the February request by Philip Siason of JPS Marble and Granite. The judge said Siason didn’t meet the required burden of proof for the order.
Siason had told the court Prince punched a co-worker and was fired. Prince later told Siason he’d been provoked and wanted his job back. He also sought unemployment payments. Siason notified an agency inquiring about unemployment benefits that Prince had been fired and that he was working for another company.
Siason said that after that, Prince “came to see me, cursed and yelled … I felt very threatened because he is a big guy and very aggressive on me.”
Siason told the court that he was aware that Prince illegally possessed guns.
Saison said Prince “did not hurt me physically, but I do not want to wait ’til he will. Plus, he already punched a co-worker.”

A man who works near a used car lot where a shooting took place in Wilmington, Delaware, says he heard a pop and saw a woman run out of the business’ office.
Authorities say a gunman who killed three co-workers at a Maryland office complex Wednesday is also responsible for the shooting in Delaware. It’s not clear if anyone was hurt in the Delaware shooting.
The witness spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because he feared retaliation while the suspect was at large.
The witness said a man inside the 28th Street Auto Sales and Service garage closed the door to the area after the woman joined him. The witness then heard a second pop, saw the garage door open and the man and woman flee. At that point, another man ran from the office, jumped into a sport utility vehicle, backed up and drove off.
Another person then emerged from the office and ran away.
