Capital Gazette Reporter Tweets Horror of Latest Mass Shooting

Another mass shooting has taken place in America.

On Thursday afternoon, a gunman broke into the offices of The Capital Gazette in Maryland, opening fire and killing at least five individuals and wounding many others.

According to law enforcement officials, an unnamed suspect is in custody, but very little is known about him at the moment.

We can confirm, however, that the suspect was found hiding under a desk inside the building and that a package (or carrying device of some kind), which contained a flammable liquid, was discovered near him on the ground.

Police have also said the suspect was an adult male and that he used a “long gun” to carry out his massacre.

More than 170 people were in the building during the shooting; those who did not suffer any injuries were evacuated and taken to a reunification area.

Among those unharmed was reporter Phil Davis, who has made headlines for Tweeting a few details from the awful incident.

“There is nothing more terrifying than hearing multiple people get shot while you’re under your desk and then hear the gunman reload,” Davis Tweeted at one point on Thursday, adding:

“Gunman shot through the glass door to the office and opened fire on multiple employees. Can’t say much more and don’t want to declare anyone dead, but it’s bad.

“A single shooter shot multiple people at my office, some of whom are dead.”

In a later interview posted on the newspaper’s website, Davis said the scene inside the newspaper’s office “was like a war zone,” expounding:

“I’m a police reporter.

“I write about this stuff – not necessarily to this extent, but shootings and death – all the time. But as much as I’m going to try to articulate how traumatizing it is to be hiding under your desk, you don’t know until you’re there and you feel helpless.”

Elsewhere, Jimmy DeButts, an editor at the Capital Gazette, Tweeted that he was “devastated & heartbroken,” explaining why it is he and his co-workers do the jobs they do:

We keep doing more with less. We find ways to cover high school sports, breaking news, tax hikes, school budgets & local entertainment.. We are there in times of tragedy.

“We do our best to share the stories of people, those who make our community better. Please understand, we do all this to serve our community.”

Along these lines, the newspaper has said it has no plans of going on hiatus or taking any sort of break.

“I can tell you this: We are putting out a damn paper tomorrow,” reporter Chase Cook Tweeted.

President Donald Trump, has has often referred to the press as the “enemy of the people,” something he reiterated two days ago at a rally in South Carolina, chimed in as follows on social media:

“Prior to departing Wisconsin, I was briefed on the shooting at Capital Gazette in Annapolis, Maryland.

“My thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families. Thank you to all of the First Responders who are currently on the scene.”

Added the First Lady on Twitter:

“Today’s violence at the Capital Gazette was tragic & evil.

“My heart goes out to all affected in this brutal & senseless attack, & I send thoughts & prayers for comfort to the friends, family & colleagues of those killed & injured.”

Anne Arundel County Police spokesman Lt. Ryan Frashure said that officers were on the scene “very, very quickly, I think it was around 60 seconds or a minute-and-a-half” after receiving the call about the active shooter.

As of this writing, the suspect is said to not be cooperating with police.

Here is a look at the building where the shooting took place:

Maryland Governor Larry Hogan has also released a statement about this shooting at the Capital Gazette in Annapolis, saying at a press conference:

“We are terribly saddened by the loss of five members of our community in today’s heinous shooting.

“The Capital Gazette is my hometown paper, and I have the greatest respect for the fine journalists, and all the men and women, who work there.

“They serve each day to shine light on the world around us so that we might see with more clarity and greater understanding.

“There is no place in our society for this kind of hatred and violence, and the individual responsible for this horrendous crime must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”

UPDATE: 

Anne Arundel Police Deputy Chief Bill Krampf has now confirmed this was a “targeted attack” against the newspaper.

Tristan Thompson Curses Off Reporter: Watch Him Lose It!

Tristan Thompson has had it.

He"s clearly sick of answering certain questions and of trying to placate his critics.

He knows he continues to lose, but he insists that he"s trying his best and is annoyed at anyone who says differently.

Seriously, Thompson doesn"t want anyone out there questioning he or his team"s defense against the Golden State Warriors any longer!

Oh, did you think we were talking about Khloe Kardashian and Thompson"s penchant for cheating on her?

No. Not this time around.

We"re talking about the fact that Thompson and the Cleveland Cavaliers are down two games to zero in the NBA Finals and are coming off a 122-103 blowout at the hands of the Warriors.

The 27-year-old power forward was very obviously taken aback when one reporter asked on Sunday night whether he felt “helpless” guarding Warriors star Stephen Curry… after Curry netted a record-breaking nine three-pointers in Game 2.

Tristan couldn"t believe this inquiry was even uttered.

“No, [what] the fck. No,” Thompson replied, turning his head away from the microphone and adding:

“We did a good job. When I’m switching on him, I’m guarding him. I am never helpless with no guy in the NBA. F-ck that. F-cked up sh-t."

(Editor"s Note: Thompson sure does love to f-ck things, huh?)

Thompson does take his defense very seriously on the court.

And, for a guy his size, he does do a strong job staying in front of Curry when he"s called on to switch.

But we"re talking about the best shooter of all-time here. The guy just makes some crazy shots.

Still, Thompson is teetering on the edge of a breakdown here.

He actually got ejected from the first game of the Finals after shoving a ball into Draymond Green"s face.

Is the pressure of his professional life and his rocky personal life finally getting to Thompson?

It certainly seems that way.

"At the end of the day, if you don’t give effort and you don’t play hard, you’re never going to give yourself a chance to win,” Thompson also said of Game 2.

“You control what you can control. Just go out and play. Miss or make, you think you got fouled, you think it’s a travel, you gotta get back on defense and communicate.

"That’s what Golden State wants. They want you to hang back, complain to the refs and complain because they’re gonna come down and knock a three in your face.

"We can’t be worried about that."

No, but Tristan can worry about whether he"ll have a chance to watch his daughter grow up or whether Kardashian will take back to Los Angeles.

Cam Newton Laughs at Female Reporter, Is a Moron

Cam Newton just threw the biggest incomplete pass of his life.

Or something to that effect.

During a press conference this afternoon, the Carolina Panthers quarterback was asked a question by Charlotte Observer beat reporter Jourdan Rodrigue about wide receiver Devin Funchess.

She wanted to know Newton"s take on how the University of Michigan product has been embracing the physicality of routes and whether Newton got enjoyment out of that.

Instead, Newton got enjoyment out of the question itself.

Or, to be more sexist and specific, the person asking the question.

"It"s funny to hear a female talk about routes like," he replied, smiling broadly. "It"s funny.""

Thankfully, no one else in the room saw the humor.

Especially not Rodrigue.

"I don"t think it"s "funny" to be a female and talk about routes. I think it"s my job," she later wrote on Twitter.

Did she approach Newton about the diss after the press gathering ended? Yup, and…

"I spoke with him after and it was worse. I chose not to share, because I have an actual job to do today and one he will not keep me from."

The reporter then followed up these Tweets with a more official statement that reads:

"This afternoon, I did my job as an NFL beat writer and asked Cam Newton a question about one of his receivers.

"I was dismayed by his response, which not only belittled me but countless other women before me and beside me who work in similar jobs.

"I sought Mr. Newton out as he left the locker room a few minutes later. He did not apologize for his comments."

Yikes.

Newton has been famously prickly with the press in the past, cutting short his Super Bowl 50 post-game press conference after Carolina lost to Denver, for example.

He won the MVP in 2014.

In a statement, meanwhile, the NFL said "the comments are just plain wrong and disrespectful to the exceptional female reporters and all journalists."
