A reporter for the Capital Gazette newspaper shared a firsthand account on Thursday of the shooting in his newsroom’s office earlier that day.
Phil Davis, a crime reporter for the Annapolis, Md., paper, was cited by name among the first first reports of the shooting. Davis tweeted the shooter “shot through the glass door to the office and opened fire on multiple employees.”
He tweeted that multiple people were killed in the shooting and that employees could hear the shooter firing a gun and reloading the weapon.
At least four people were killed after a shooter entered the newspaper’s building and opened fire, according to multiple reports.
Anne Arundel County Sheriff Ron Bateman told Fox News that a suspect was apprehended in the shooting, but not motive had yet been identified.
