Sputnik discussed the situation around the deadly mass shooting at the Maryland newspaper’s office with Peter Squires, Professor of Criminology and Public Policy in the School of Applied Social Science at Brighton University.
A Maryland newspaper has continued to publish despite a deadly mass shooting that left five of its staff dead. Staff at the Capital Gazette have published a Friday edition, after a gunman killed five people and injured two more at the local paper’s office. In the immediate aftermath Chase Cook, a reporter at the Annapolis publication, tweeted: We are putting out a damn paper tomorrow. His post came just hours after the attacker, armed with a shotgun and smoke grenades, shot through a glass door into the newsroom. Police called the shooting a « targeted attack ».
