Phil Davis, a crime reporter at the newspaper, tweeted while he waited to be interviewed by police. He said the gunman shot through a glass door to an officer and opened fire on employees. He said he didn’t want to declare anyone dead, but he said the situation was bad.

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