UPDATE: Annapolis, Md. 5 dead, other serious injuries, suspect ID'd

Gov. Larry Hogan

Annapolis, MD -- Shots were fired and earliest reports say there are "multiple deaths," outside the Capital Gazette newsroom, located about 5 miles from the U.S. Naval Academy.

Initial reports believe that four people are dead.

This is a breaking story and much information is not confirmed.

What is confirmed is that the suspect is in custody and was apprehended by a deputy according to the Anne Arundel Sheriff Ron Bateman.

The shooting started around 2:30 p.m. on Bestgate Road. At this moment, police are concerned and warn of the possibility of more shooters, but it seems as if only one person is responsible for the carnage.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) Baltimore responded to the incident and will be there for investigative purposes.

At this time, the situation has been neutralized and the subject is in custody and victims are being attended to.

Since this has occurred at a news outlet, let me be the first to say that this will probably be blamed on President Trump.

UPDATE:  (4:40 p.m. ET) --"several people have been killed" and "several people have been hospitalized." But the suspect is still being interviewed by detectives and officials do not want to give out too much information as the investigation continues.
