ANNAPOLIS, Md. — A man armed with a shotgun and smoke grenades stormed into the newsroom of a community newspaper chain in Maryland’s capital on Thursday afternoon, killing five journalists, injuring two others and prompting law enforcement agencies across the country to provide protection at the headquarters of media organizations.

A lone suspect, a Maryland resident in his late 30s, was taken into custody at the scene and was being questioned Thursday night, but the authorities did not immediately identify him. The authorities said they were investigating whether the suspect had sent a threat over social media to the Capital Gazette, which produces a number of local newspapers along Maryland’s shore.

So after his lawsuit against the paper in 2012 and the appeal in 2015 got turned down because of a article written about him of a intimidation court case against him he decided a shotgun would do the trick and decided to intimidate shoot the whole lot.

It truly makes me sad, when reading these things.

I have however my standpoint on this issue

"It's an American problem and they have to solve it them self"
