President Trump responds to yet another mass shooting this time in the Capital Gazette newsroom in Annapolis, Maryland, which has left five dead and others “gravely injured.”

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

There is nothing more terrifying than hearing multiple people get shot while you’re under your desk and then hear the gunman reload

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.
