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.

Thank you for that update. I briefly heard about it but clearly didn’t have the whole picture.
Was thinking the same thing.
Annapolis is about as major as Williamsburg, VA and roughly the same vintage. It is a small town with a state government with a bunch of Washington and Baltimore suburbs around it. In other words it is neither fish nor fowl as far as being a city. All its suburbs are really suburbs of two other metro areas and the town itself not very big. It is like other “towns” that have been grown over by huge metro areas just a tad too far away to make commuting comfortable but it happens anyway - basically it is a suburb of a suburb.
Doesnt matter at 1755 MSNBC’s Velchi said it happened due to Trump calling for violence on news people.
Took longer than I thought
I heard it at 555,thought that was a bit delayed for them and Iam sure it had to have been earlier than what you heard
Baltimore is wacko leftist. The rest of the state is normal. Annapolis is exceptional. Many parts of the state are dear to Catholics like me. Emmitsburg...the seat and foundation of the Catholic School System. Mother Seton’s home and shrine. What a story...a widow with Five kids who started a school and a religious order. She and St. John Neumann collaborated in founding our marvelouus Catholic School System. I guess this is why I love Maryland.
Calling them Fake News means Kill Journalists, who knew?
If it was a disgruntled employee then he would have been IDed by now. There are only about 50 people working for the paper and usually those kind of guys are shooting someone they know. My guess is he is just nuts. The right age for schizophrenia. Politics are probably an incoherent mishmash of delusional fantasies if he has any at all. But we will see. I could be wrong.
“...Velchi said it happened due to Trump calling for violence on news people.”
Did Trump call for violence against news people??? Hmmm must have missed that.
Law enforcement should interview the therapists.
Each shooter has one coincidentally.
Targets?
Relocation within 30 days of each shooting?
New name?
FBI doesn’t know this?
Spooks are hard to find?
Dream to reality.

Just saw that on Drudge. Also read somewhere that the shooter seemed familiar with the offices. Disgruntled employee?
