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.

Right on que, Sen. Cardin talking about gun control!
Sixty seconds seems almost too fast.... Were the police tipped off before the incident began? Nonetheless, glad they were there.
WOW! This was a long time a-planning. Wondering what kind of a freak he is...left wing or right wing?
I like the way you think, budj
Meth user?
Benny Cardin to the rescue NOT!!!
“Cops were in site within 60 seconds!”
Yes, Big Media can be completely trusted whenever the reporting is not DIRECTLY related to politics.
I probably need the /s.
Black shirt, OD pants = Anarchist. Mutilates his finger tips so The System can’t define him.
Big Assumption he was targeting a smalltown newspaper because he disagreed with an editorial and wanted to shut down fake news aka free speech
physically, sounds more like a disgruntled bundler or delivery guy
But scarred fingertips suggests planning or prior record
Maybe a militia type
We will see
I don’t care if it was the worst Leftist rag in the nation, this isn’t how you resolve issues.
I don’t believe that it was BTW.
Our side doesn’t need to be this desperate. We’re winning.
The best pressure reducing thing has happened. We elected a man who agrees with us, and is in the process of remaking this nation.
These are always Leftists.
If they want gun control, fine. I ask Leftists across the nation to just anti up, take your guns down to the local police station and hand them in.
We’ll all be a lot safer.
Dear Leftist, have you handed your guns in yet?
“Cops were on site within 60 seconds!”
Such an extraordinary response time, one wonders if it was a planned distraction on same day as Rosenweasel & Wray testified.
These daze, nothing can be dismissed.
>> remember maryland is THE Freak state. It is quite hopeless there. Escape while you are still able to do so.<<
Many people not living in Maryland or in adjacent states are not aware that most of the eastern shore counties and the three western most counties have largely conservative populations. The wackos live in the Washington, DC suburbs and around Baltimore City.
He’s trying to hide somebody or something ... some group. Is this related to “Antifa” or a group like them?
Only works if he's in the system somewhere to begin with.
I am just asking a lot of questions.
If you want to purchase a handgun in Maryland have fun. Try buying one out of state when they find out your from Maryland.
I think Singapore has efficient justice.
We’d have heard it by now if it had been.
Exactly.
