The Baltimore Sun

A shooting has occurred at the Capital Gazette in Anne Arundel County, a paper that is owned by The Baltimore Sun, according to reports from Gazette staff.

Anne Arundel County Police confirmed there was an “active shooter” at 888 Bestgate Road, where the newspaper’s offices are located. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives confirmed it was responding to a “shooting incident” at the Gazette.

Phil Davis, a Gazette reporter, said that multiple people had been shot. Police did not immediately respond to requests for further information.

Police were also at The Baltimore Sun newsroom in Baltimore. Police said there was no threat on the Sun, and that their presence was a precaution.

This story will be updated.

7. the article linked in the OP doesn't say anythinb about "four dead"

Where did that news come from?

[BumRushDaShow]

13. I just looked at a couple articles and posted a link

The local stations there in Baltimore are doing live coverage. One article I saw said "6 injured".

I have been arguing about other stuff in other threads and haven't delved into this yet.

38. MSNBC now reporting

Cheering the act in the form of anonymous online chat forums. Surprised?

[haele]

2. Any one of three - Disgruntled ex employee,

Upset ex-significant other, or Right Wing Nut Job looking to hunt journalists, because s/he was drunk/high enough when whatever conservative pundit spouted off about "Fake News" and "Criminal Lying Reporters" in the middle of a rant to hit that sweet spot of self-loathing fueled resentment, and a desire to be a famous hero for the cause.

We won't know until we know.
Sigh...

3. Just following Milo's wishes

Milo Yiannopoulos: "I hope journalists are murdered". "Former alt-right icon Milo Yiannopoulos texted a newspaper saying that he hopes that “squads start gunning journalists down on sight.”

4. I just heard a radio report there were 20 injured as well.

[malaise]

5. Which probably means more than four dead

This is #115 for the year.

[peekaloo]

6. the building is still being cleared

no confirmation on shooter/shooters being apprehended.

[malaise]

8. Just saw a tweet on cable - said single shooter shot co-workers and some are dead from Phil?

[peekaloo]

14. I've never heard of this paper.

need to go research but I will admit my first thought was RW whackadoodle.

[malaise]

19. Local

Owned by the Baltimore Sun

Hope they keep their fudging thoughts and prayers and stop telling their goons to attack the media.

[NickB79]

57. He used a shotgun, so 9 buckshot pellets per shot

Probably a lot of injuries from that.

10. Damn

[malaise]

12. You don't need anymore bad news

[lunasun]

30. Oh dear you don't need this news

[Oneironaut]

15. Kind of early to say why the shooting happened.

If you’re wrong, you risk looking foolish. It could just be workplace violence. In the coming days, we’ll no doubt learn more.

[Coventina]

16. Another mass shooting done by a white male.

Wonder when Trump will put a travel ban on them?

[malaise]

23. But is it terrorism

when he's white?

[Coventina]

25. Of course not! He's probably just upset about something.

Like a job, or a love affair gone bad.

Poor widdle guy just needs hugs!

[malaise]

26. It's crazy

Is this just a mass shooting or is it an attack on the paper. One of the goons has been calling for attacks on the media.

[Coventina]

29. Ah, but when I called out Milo a few minutes ago, I was scolded that

it was "too soon" to hold Milo accountable.

[malaise]

31. They have raised as one of the questions that will be asked

The governor has arrived; they're speaking with Sen Cardin.
This is clearly bad.

[Tipperary]

45. The previous one was done by a black male.

So just stop. These are crazy people.

[Coventina]

47. I don't take orders from you.

The VAST MAJORITY of mass shootings in this country are done by white men.

[Cattledog]

17. Shooter is a white male.

Any surprise? In custody.

[workinclasszero]

20. White male?

Couldn't see that coming.

Wonder how long until Trump pardons him?

[dhol82]

51. Well, yeah. You know that if they don't get shot and killed then they have to be white.

[lunasun]

33. Not an immigrant Cental American teen ? How could that be ?

[malaise]

36. This is a major slaughter

Looking at the faces here, this is looking like An attack on the media.

Just look at the number of vehicles and we know this is bad,

Trump Calls the News Media the ‘Enemy of the American People’
By Michael M. Grynbaum Feb. 17, 2017

President Trump, in an extraordinary rebuke of the nation’s press organizations, wrote on Twitter on Friday that the nation’s news media “is the enemy of the American people.”

His brownshirt killers responded it seems.

21. Precisely

Cop on TV says no t major - not 100 -'hugging hell.

32. In South Carolina, Trump said that the media was the enemy of the people.

Let's see if this was a factor....

[malaise]

35. Several dead

Asshole taking about in Jesus' hands

[struggle4progress]

37. ... CBS News also reports the suspect is a white male in his 20s, but he has not been identified.

[muriel_volestrangler]

44. Reading a bit into that, that sounds like the employees didn't know who he was

so it's unlikely to be a "vengeful (ex?) employee" scenario. Something else, such as someone attacking "the enemies of the people" he's had pointed out to him by the president. Speculation, I know.

[struggle4progress]

46. Or the armed and deranged ex of an employee

[muriel_volestrangler]

58. Might be, but was able to refuse to say who he was later

so doesn't sound so deranged that he'd try to kill many people apart from someone he's trying to take revenge on.

[Ilsa]

39. Looks like 5 dead. nt

[malaise]

41. Several more were gravely injured

Those are early numbers

Five dead, gunman in custody after shooting at Capital Gazette building in Annapolis, police say

by Lynh Bui and Ovetta Wiggins June 28 at 4:56 PM

Police have confirmed multiple injuries after a shooting in the Capital Gazette newsroom in Annapolis. The Associated Press reported a shooter was in custody.

A heavy police presence saturated the area and occupants in the office building at the shooting site were being evacuated to a nearby mall.

The shooting unfolded at around 3 p.m. in the 800 block of Bestgate Road.

“There is nothing more terrifying than hearing multiple people get shot while you’re under your desk and then hear the gunman reload,” Gazette reporter Phil Davis said on Twitter.

[heaven05]

52. Hannity! says he is not surprised in light of ...and plays Maxine Waters soundbite.

Sean says he is certainly NOT trying to connect the two, but who knows.

He then introduced his guest from the NRA. In a bit of hilarity, the two discussed their martial arts training.

"When you reach a certain level in the martial arts, you no longer have control. If you feel threatened, you just act reflexively".

1) If that is what you got from your martial arts training, you need a different teacher. Yours is a phony.

2) That is the best argument for gun restrictions ever.

[malaise]

53. oK then

Suspect not cooperating -: should have taken him to Burger King

[jmowreader]

54. Let me guess...

Bad haircut, likes tiki torches, really enjoys wearing embroidered red baseball caps and dislikes "fake news."

[DBoon]

60. Now don't knock tiki torches

They are perfect with Hawaiian shirts, tropical rum cocktails, and Martin Denny records played on the HiFi

[malaise]

61. Think he has long hair

As one of them said if he was an ex-employee or known someone would have identified him already. Not sure re the latter because that person could be dead, but this is looking like an attack on the media.
He's not cooperating.
They can take his photo and go public.

[grantcart]

59. Gazette appears to be mainline Democratic on the editorial side

Endorsed Baker but didn't have anything against Jealous.

[NastyRiffraff]

63. And 2 days ago:

Milo Yiannopoulos Encourages Vigilantes to Start ‘Gunning Journalists Down’

And of course, inevitably:
Milo Yiannopoulos: My call for shooting journalists was just a 'troll'

He belongs in jail.

[FakeNoose]

69. Sooner or later somebody will gun him down

... Just sayin'

[Grins]

65. So. I see school's out...? NM

66. Wanna feel sick? Go to Breitbart and read the comments.

67. I pass

68. I just read that five are dead

Again

[Soph0571]

70. This is what happens when the supposed leader of the free world...

... makes the press the enemy, and has an honest to goodness cult

How dare he tweet condolences when this shit is on him

Of course if it turns out to be a worker who just went postal, I will be sorry, but I will also know that is not today, then tomorrow, when a member of his cult pulls this shit, but like every white terrorist in the last ten years it will have nothing to do with nasty fucker right wing wankers stoking the flames of resentment. Honest Guv /s

[malaise]

71. And the fucking snowflake was found hiding

under a desk

[Soph0571]

72. Heh

What is it with right wing terrorists? Kill people...but the wankers very rarely have the courage to take their own lives. Snivelling cowards the lot of them!
