Five people were killed Thursday in a shooting at the Capital Gazette building in Annapolis, Maryland, said acting Anne Arundel County police chief Bill Krampf.

Multiple others were injured, Anne Arundel County Executive Steven Schuh said.

A reporter at the paper said a gunman fired through newsroom's glass door.

One person is in custody who is believed to be a shooter at the Gazette building, a law enforcement official told CNN.

The suspect initially refused to cooperate, a law enforcement source said. The suspect had no identification when he was apprehended and FBI found no information immediately in the system, the source said.

A law enforcement source said a shotgun was used in the shooting.

 

Police respond to the scene of the shooting.

Anne Arundel County police Lt. Ryan Frashure said law enforcement has not confirmed where in the building the shooting occurred. He said the Capital Gazette is inside the building along with other businesses and doctors' offices.

'Like a war zone'

Phil Davis, a Capital Gazette police reporter, tweeted the "gunman shot through the glass door to the office and opened fire on multiple employees."

"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.
