ANNAPOLIS, MARYLAND - JUNE 28: 888 Westgate Road, home to the Capital Gazette newsroom, where a shooting took place on June 28, 2018 in Annapolis, Maryland.- At least five people were killed Thursday when a gunman opened fire inside the offices of the Capital Gazette, a newspaper published in Annapolis, a historic city an hour east of Washington. A reporter for the daily, Phil Davis, tweeted that a 'gunman shot through the glass door to the office and opened fire on multiple employees.''There is nothing more terrifying than hearing multiple people get shot while you're under your desk and then hear the gunman reload,' Davis said.
