Another shooting!
It is being reported that there's been a shooting in Annapolis Maryland.
It happened at the Capital Gazette newspaper... There are injuries but more details will be provided as they develop.
When will this craziness stop????!!!

Re: Another shooting!
Five people have died...They don't know if this newsroom was targeted or not, but they know that four of the five people who died were pronounced dead in the newspaper office. The fifth person died at the hospital.
Threats against journalists have been on the rise in recent years.
Press freedom groups have also reported an uptick in physical assaults on journalists, particularly at campaign events and other political venues.

Re: Another shooting!
And they actually managed to put out a paper today! The editorial page was blank except for “Today, we are speechless,” and then the victims names.
the one victim was brand new on the job and two were there for 25 years. And all DT does is tweet his "thoughts and prayers." Stop the tweeting and do your job!

I agree zeke...he's an evil person....and hates CNN or anyone that tells/writes the truth about him....Journalists commonly get threats — sometimes to their lives — over email, social media or even via phone. Sometimes it's connected to a specific story, sometimes it's about the outlet. Other times it is just because of the gender, race, or religion of the reporter.In January a Michigan manwas arrested, accused of making multiple calls to CNN's headquarters and threatening employees.
In one call, he allegedly said, "Fake news. I'm coming to gun you all down."Newsrooms have responded by increasing security.
And I'm sure after this latest attack on journalists, all newsrooms and newspapers will increase their security for the safety of their journalists
