Maryland: Gunman Attacks & Kills At Least Four At Capital Gazette Newspaper

Just yesterday, Trump supporter and former senior editor for Breitbart, Milo Yiannopoulos said, “I can’t wait for the vigilante squads to start gunning journalists down on sight."

Today, a shooter guns down journalists in Annapolis, Maryland.

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

Anne Arundel County Sheriff says multiple fatalities have occurred, a suspect in custody and the building has been evacuated.

Phil Davis, a reporter for the Capital Gazette, shared the breaking story in a series of tweets:

A single shooter shot multiple people at my office, some of whom are dead.

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.

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

As a result of the shooting in Maryland, New York City Police has sent extra protective forces to major media office buildings.

It's worth noting that, on many occasions, Donald Trump has incited anger over the press to his followers. He's tweeted in the past, "The FAKE NEWS media is not my enemy, it is the enemy of the American people. SICK!"

The FAKE NEWS media (failing @nytimes, @NBCNews, @ABC, @CBS, @CNN) is not my enemy, it is the enemy of the American People!

We don’t know who is responsible for the #Annapolis mass shooting at a press outlet, but it’s horrifying to see Trump supporters claim the shootings are justified because it’s the media and “they deserve it.”

Republicans have fostered that sentiment. And now Americans are dead.
