Story highlights Hong Young, 35, is under police guard at a hospital, police said He is charged with attempted first-degree murder, assault and other charges <\/p>\n
Officers stopped Hong Young, 35, of Beltsville, Maryland, at around 10:30 p.m. Tuesday. The officers recognized Hong's vehicle -- a 1999 Lincoln Town Car -- as matching authorities' description of a car seen in surveillance footage near some of the shootings. <\/p>\n
A gun in the car matched evidence found at the shootings, authorities said at a press conference, and Young was arrested. <\/p>\n
Young is in the hospital and under police guard, though when reporters asked why he was being treated, officials would only say he was arrested without incident. <\/p>\n
He is charged with attempted first-degree murder, first- and second-degree assault, weapons violations and reckless endangerment. <\/p>\n
Young worked as a correctional officer at a Jessup facility from 2012 until his resignation in 2014, Maryland Secretary of Public Safety Stephen Moyer said. There was nothing significant in his employee file, Moyer said. <\/p>\n
Police said that there are no links to terrorism, and no motive has been determined. <\/p>\n
No one was killed in the five shooting incidents, four of which occurred Monday and Tuesday, according to police reports. <\/p>\n
