Multiple People Shot at Maryland Newspaper

by Associated Press

   ANNAPOLIS, MARYLAND --

   Multiple people have been shot at The Capital newspaper in Annapolis,
   Maryland.
   The Baltimore Sun, which owns the Annapolis newspaper, says a reporter
   told them of the shooting Thursday afternoon.

   The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives says it is
   responding to reports of the shooting.
   Marc Limansky is a spokesman for the Anne Arundel County Police
   Department. He says officers are searching the building in Annapolis
   where the shooting was reported. He says the situation is ``active and
   ongoing.''
   On TV reports, people could be seen leaving the building with their
   hands up, as police officers urged them to depart through a parking lot
   and officers converged on the building.
