UPDATE: Five Dead In Shooting At Maryland Newspaper

One person is in police custody after a deadly shooting at a newspaper office in Annapolis, Maryland.

According to CNN, a gunman opened fire at the Capital Gazette on Thursday, killing five people and injuring two others. A shotgun was the weapon reportedly used in the shooting.

Phil Davis, a Capital Gazette reporter, tweeted the "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".

"There is nothing more terrifying than hearing multiple people get shot while you're under your desk and then hear the gunman reload," he said.

Police have arrested one person who is believed to be a shooter at the Gazette building, however, the suspect had no identification when he was taken into custody.

A number of reports indicate that the shooter has been identified as Jarrod Warren Ramos.  Ramos filed a defamation claim against the paper in 2012, but the case was dismissed.
