Five people have died and several others are hurt after a shooting at the Capital Gazette newspaper building in Annapolis, Maryland, local and federal officials say.
The names of the dead were not released immediately. The suspected shooter is in custody, and authorities are questioning him, officials said at a news conference Thursday afternoon.
"I don't know what to say other than our thoughts and prayers are with them and their families, and we take comfort knowing that they are in God's embrace," Anne Arundel County Executive Steve Schuh said.
Injured victims are being treated at R. Adams Cowley Shock Trauma in Baltimore and Anne Arundel Medical Center, the county executive said. Several are "gravely injured," Schuh said.
The shooter opened fire at 888 Bestgate Road, and the call for an active shooter came in at 2:34 p.m, Capt. Russell Davies with the Anne Arundel EMS confirmed to NBC News.
First responders arrived within 60 seconds, Gov. Larry Hogan said.

Part of me thinks it might be a long time staffer that was let go due to age. He goes home, has a bunch of the hard stuff, and then comes back for “payback”.
You might be right, but a guy alone? Don’t they travel in packs?
It’s weird though..won’t say anything and has no ID on him..
Excuse me! Annapolitans are a Liberal crowd. Also Gov. Hogan is a Moderate Rep ( go along, get along) that’s how he got elected in MD.
Thanks!
Surprise, surprise.
Publications not at all similar in content
Being a “ liberal’ news paper was not a realistic trigger because Capital Gazette is small town stuff
Letters to the editor may get heated but very small part of content
I know that Maryland is a fairly small state and I don’t know how far Annapolis is from Baltimore (or DC) but it’s not hard to believe that Baltimore papers do the real coverage of state politics.
Yeah, she's a Congresswoman.
Oh, wait...
Did the paper endorse Bernie or Hillary ?
Milo didn’t say to go kill journalist.
What happened is a journalist doing a hit piece asked him for a comment. Knowing his comment was not going to be run in a positive way he decided to treat the reporter to an ugly statement.
Shooter trying to hide his identity.. damaged his finger tips so can’t fingerprint!
There is one case where I agree with the SPLC and the precedent it created. That was the one against Tom Metzger. Some white supremacist had killed an Ethiopian in Oregon, and had attended some event where Metzger was there, or he was otherwise “inspired”. Metzger was sued for “vicarious liability”, and the family was awarded several millions, which Metzger is still required to pay off. If this shooter was in fact “inspired” by Rep. Maxine Waters, she can be held legally liable under the same precedent.
Maxine Waters, YOU are sounding off the dog whistles.
Geeesh, she’s nuts but this isn’t what she called for. Waters wants people going after administration people. Hannity is off base. But someone on our side needs to call out Milo in no uncertain terms. I detest the msm but that doesn’t equate to wanting them murdered.
Maybe they should post his picture.
He may have.

Yea, Annapolis stayed Democrat even when Spiro T. Agnew was governor for two years.
Exactly!!
Where are the pics of this perp??
waiting for the ‘calls” to BAN guns...again.
Prayers tho, for the killed, wounded, and their families.
They'll spin this that it was done by a Trump supporter that was upset with the media because of all the Trump fake news rhetoric. Truth doesn't matter to the left.
