At least five people are reportedly dead and at least 20 others were injured in a shooting at a Maryland newspaper on June 28.
Phil Davis, a crime reporter for the Capital Gazette, tweeted, “Gunman shot through the glass door to the office and opened fire on multiple employees. Can’t say much more and don’t want to declare anyone dead, but it’s bad.”
A single shooter shot multiple people at my office, some of whom are dead.

There is nothing more terrifying than hearing multiple people get shot while you're under your desk and then hear the gunman reload

The shooter, who has yet to be identified, has been apprehended. He is a white male and is in his 20s.
More to come.
