| MD Sheriff: 'Multiple Fatalities' in Annapolis Newsroom Shooting |
| 2018-06-28 |
| [FoxNews] A Maryland sheriff confirmed to Fox News Thursday that there are "multiple fatalities" at the offices of the Annapolis Capital-Gazette. Anne Arundel County Sheriff Ron Bateman told Shepard Smith that a suspect has been apprehended at the newspaper's office, located on Bestgate Road, off Defense Highway in Parole, Md. Authorities have not released any information on the suspect or a potential motive. The Capital-Gazette, which serves the Annapolis area and Kent Narrows, is a subsidiary of the Baltimore Sun newspaper, and Trace Gallagher reported that newsroom was later swept for possible threats. Anne Arundel County Sheriffs Office spokesman Mark Limansky told the Associated Press that the "situation is active" as of 3:15 p.m. local time. Defense Highway, or MD-450, a main suburban alternate to the Annapolis-to-Washington expressway US-50/US-301, has been shut down, according to Trace Gallagher. The New York City Police Department, "out of an abundance of caution" is dispatching teams of officers to all media outlets in the city. Shepard Smith noted those outlets includes eight local television stations. New York is also home to Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, ABC News, CBS and NBC News. An intern at the Annapolis Capital-Gazette, Anthony Messenger, tweeted a cry for help around the time the shooting was first reported. |

| #23 We'll all be like the people of Aurora in that Asimov book, insular and anti-social. Aurora was the setting in the third book of Asimov’s R.Daneel Olivaw and Elijah Baley stories. The books in order are: Caves of Steel, The Naked Sun, and Robots of Dawn. |

| #20 Note the 2015 criminal harassment proceeding against Ramos. Former government employee. There's probably a larger story to be uncovered. |

| #18 The suspect in the shooting is Jarrod Warren Ramos, multiple law enforcement sources tell CNN. Here’s an older article about a defamation claim he filed against the newspaper in 2012 that was dismissed. |

| #17 I heard there was a fire drill and the shooter used that to get inside. If true that might explain the police super-fast response. |

| #16 Reports said he had a vendetta against the paper and had posted threats. Still, with police responding within 60 seconds and securing everyone and everything quickly it so far is sounding like they did a great job to keep this from getting worse. |

| #15 The suspected shooter is 39-year-old Jarrod Ramos, three senior law enforcement officials briefed on the matter told NBC News. Another White Hispanic™ |

| #14 Ten years from now everyone will be home schooled and will work from home. We'll all be like the people of Aurora in that Asimov book, insular and anti-social. |

| #13 Shooting thru glass doors with 5 dead, 3 injured. Sounds like a 8 round stack of slugs, Frank. |

| #11 It's highly suspicious that he doesn't want to be identified. Which to me screams false flag. Possibly Antifa or some other lefty group. |

| #10 #6 - they've used facial recognition and they know who he is. Bet he has a rap sheet? 20's white dude |

| #9 It's amazing how scary "black" is. Figure the Oakland Raiders, Ravens, Chi WhiteSox et. al. should all be on the list. |

| #2 Via Drudge Report, CBS Baltimore adds Senior law enforcement officials confirmed with CBS News that the suspect is a white man in his 20s and didn’t have identification on him. He is also reportedly refusing to identify himself to authorities. CBS News is also reporting that the suspect was armed with a shotgun What “white” in this context means remains to be seen... |

| #1 Now to see whether the miscreant is suffering from Sudden Jihad Syndrome or drugs/crazy/psychopathy. Thank you for being on top of this for us, Deacon Blues. |
