5 dead, many injured in mass shooting at Annapolis newsroom

Phil Davis, a Capital Gazette crime reporter who was in the building at the time of the shooting, said multiple people were shot, as others himself included hid under their desks. He said there was a lone male gunman.

Gunman shot through the glass door to the office and opened fire on multiple employees. Cant say much more and dont want to declare anyone dead, but its bad, Davis wrote on Twitter as he waited to be interviewed by police.

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

In a subsequent interview, Davis said it was like a war zone inside the newspapers offices a situation that would be hard to describe for a while.

Just yesterday, far-right provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos called for vigilantes to "gun down" journalists "on sight"; two days ago, President Donald Trump described American media as "the enemy of the American people."
