Multiple people have been shot at The Capital-Gazette newspaper in Annapolis, Maryland.

LIVE UPDATES – ALL TIMES EST…

10:40 PM — Video of that Chris Cuomo speech:

.@ChrisCuomo: Today, another example of a gun violence pandemic our society is maddeningly willing to accept. It is a fact there has been no meaningful legislation in Congress to stop this. More dead, more shattered lives, more reasons to do something to stop these shootings. pic.twitter.com/Y2zbqi4Gm9 — Cuomo Prime Time (@CuomoPrimeTime) June 29, 2018

Crushing. These are the victims, per a statement from our company. RIP, all. My love and strength to their families. And, along with every journalist I know, a ferocious commitment to continue, uncowed, in the honorable profession to which they devoted their lives. #Annapolis pic.twitter.com/FznPCP5BJa — Rex Huppke (@RexHuppke) June 29, 2018

10:29 PM — Consensus among upper-crust, establishment left-wingers: This had nothing to do with Trump, BUT…

Supporting local journalism is important, what happened today is sickening. This alleged gunman appears to have had a longstanding grudge against the paper and little else is known so far. But Trump is the only president in memory to call the press “the enemy of the people.” https://t.co/QmGBikZh0L — Maggie Haberman (@maggieNYT) June 29, 2018

Troubled for years but didn’t shoot up a newsroom until today. Someone living on the edge of snapping into violence does so when violence is condoned. And just wait for the first Right Wing Nut to tie this to Sanders being denied din din, not lax gun laws or anti-media rhetoric. — Philippe Reines (@PhilippeReines) June 29, 2018

10:27 PM — CNN political analyst Brian Karem says on air: “We’ve joined the ranks of Russia and 3rd-world nations where reporters’ lives aren’t safe.”

This talking point seems in keeping with the network’s general tone tonight. Earlier, host Chris Cuomo delivered this monologue:

The shooting, taken together with the kids stranded at the border and the political punchfest that we’re suffering, all lead us to the same problem: those kids torn from parents, dumped all over the country, the harshness of that move, the lies about fixing it, the slow fade of interest in our society about it. The empty calls for civility; why empty? Because they’re mostly made those who are decidedly uncivil. And yeah, I’m talking about the president, those around him who excuse and empower his talk, his media friends that echo and reward it, the idea of suggesting today that this shooting is to be blamed on the left is as baseless, unproductive, and frankly stupid as it is to point to the other side.

10:25 PM — Ramos’s purported feud with the newspaper started with a story on his alleged cyberstalking and harassment of a former high school classmate.

"He's a f***** nut job" –woman who says she was stalked by suspect in fatal shooting of 5 people at Capital Gazette in Annapolis…says she warned former police official years ago.."he will be your next mass shooter" — Jayne Miller (@jemillerwbal) June 29, 2018

10:17 PM — More blue checkmark finger pointing.

Honest question, Sarah: is it at all possible that President Trump calling the media the enemy of the American people has contributed to a mentally unstable person taking matters into their own hands? https://t.co/CsfiNOOpEq — Evan Rosenfeld (@Evan_Rosenfeld) June 28, 2018

It is your hateful rhetoric, Trump, that set the atmosphere for this henious tragedy. You put in the minds of the people that the press is the enemy of the state and you’ve done nothing to stem the tide of assault weapons. You have blood on your hands!#CapitalGazzette — Bishop Talbert Swan (@TalbertSwan) June 28, 2018

Seems to me that shooting up a newsroom is a natural extension of proclaiming that our worst enemies are those reporting news we don't like that we decide to propagandize as "fake." The violence today lies at Trump's feet. The blood in Annapolis is on his hate-feeding hands. https://t.co/Gv7dOz1KCs — Scott Santens (@scottsantens) June 28, 2018

Will no one in the Republican Party have the courage to call for Donald Trump to resign the Presidency? This man has ceaselessly propagated hate against journalists for years, calling them the enemy of the American people. Today's killings are the direct consequence. — Mikko Alanne (@MikkoAlanne) June 28, 2018

When you have a president who says the press is "enemy of the people" is it surprising that someone shoots up a newspaper office? @realDonaldTrump has blood on his hands. He loves inciting people even after seeing the consequences in places like Charlottesville. #CapitalGazette — Cenk Uygur (@cenkuygur) June 28, 2018

https://twitter.com/gabydunn/status/1012460333162586112

NBC is reporting that this shooter may not have been ideologically motivated. So let me be clear: I stand by what I said. You cannot be POTUS, hold rally after rally to attack reporters, calling them fake, disgusting/dishonest & not expect someone to think shooting them is ok. — Andrew Feinberg (@AndrewFeinberg) June 29, 2018

The shooting today in the Capital Gazette newsroom in Annapolis, Maryland cannot reasonably be separated from the President's mission to villainize the press as "the enemy of the American people." — Lauren Duca (@laurenduca) June 28, 2018

Donald Trump has repeatedly and angrily branded the press as a threat, as the enemy, as a danger to America. Someone just shot up a newsroom and killed journalists. He has blood on his hands. — Mike P Williams 🌹 (@Mike_P_Williams) June 28, 2018

Donald Trump called journalists the enemy of the people. — Zac Petkanas (@Zac_Petkanas) June 28, 2018

It's journalism's job to approach stories and subjects objectively. It's also journalism's job to report facts. Any responsible reporter has to note that many of Trump's most ardent supporters want journalists dead.

9:32 PM — Bio: “Pulitzer winner.”

While Jarrod W Ramos follows no one on Twitter (from his known account) there seem to be a good number of Trump supporters and members of the alt right who follow him. #journalists #capitalgazette — Thomas Peele (@thomas_peele) June 29, 2018

9:30 PM — Now it appears the motivation for the shooting has little if anything to do with politics. Some blue check marks are still digging in with blame for Trump.

An account allegedly belonging to the Annapolis shooter makes frequent threats toward the paper, refers to "journalist hell," includes multiple Charlie Hebdo references and memes, and warns the paper against calling Donald Trump "unqualified." — Jared Yates Sexton (@JYSexton) June 29, 2018

The Annapolis shooting suspect is confirmed as Jarrod Warren Ramos. Six years ago he sued Capital Gazette and lost. But he didn't bother to shoot up the place until after Donald Trump started promoting violence and scapegoating journalists. This is precisely as ugly as we thought — Palmer Report (@PalmerReport) June 29, 2018

9:16 PM — The Capital Gazette reports on Ramos’s long-running vendetta:

On Thursday evening, federal and local law enforcement officials blocked off with crime-scene tape the Laurel apartment complex listed as the address for Ramos, whose dispute with the Capital began in July 2011 when a columnist at the paper covered a criminal harassment case against him.

In 2012, Ramos brought a defamation suit against the columnist and the paper’s former editor and publisher. In 2015, Maryland’s second-highest court upheld a ruling in favor of the Capital Gazette and a former reporter who were accused by Ramos of defamation.

9:00 PM — Multiple reports claim the identity of the attacker is Jarrod Ramos, who reportedly has had a legal feud with the Capital Gazette since 2012:

Capital Gazette shooting suspect Jarrod W. Ramos, 38, filed a defamation lawsuit against the paper and a columnist in 2012. https://t.co/YFUW6pFTXV — The Baltimore Sun (@baltimoresun) June 29, 2018

5:06 PM — The Capital-Gazette has published its own reporting on the shooting, with more details from reporter Phil Davis, who tweeted soon after the attack:

Davis said it “was like a war zone” inside the newspaper’s offices — a situation that would be “hard to describe for a while.” “I’m a police reporter. I write about this stuff — not necessarily to this extent, but shootings and death — all the time,” he said. “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.” Davis said he and others were still hiding under their desks when the shooter stopped firing. “I don’t know why. I don’t know why he stopped,” he said. Police arrived and surrounded the shooter, Davis said. He declined to elaborate. Authorities said police responded to the scene within a minute. “If they were not there as quickly as they were it could have been a lot worse,” Annapolis Mayor Gavin Buckley said.
