June 28 marks the second anniversary of the shooting at the #CapitalGazette in which my friend Rob Hiaasen and four of his colleagues were killed. Compounding the sadness is that this day also is his wife Maria's birthday. 
The world lost an incredible man with Rob's passing, but in addition to the love he left behind is his superb writing that we can remember him by. Here's a link to a selection of his feature writing from the Baltimore Sun to celebrate #ReadingRobDay drive.google.com/file/d/1GnOvgy…
I encourage you to buy his posthumously published novel, "Float Plan," his book of essays, "Love Punch & Other Collected Columns," or the anthology I am blessed to appear with him in, "Baltimore Noir."
At least 1,337 journalists have been killed while covering the news since 1992. Their names form The #LastColumn logo. Each time a journalist is killed, their name will be added to the logo. #pressfreedom

Etrange réveil ce matin aux #EtatsUnis, jamais peut-être depuis aussi longtemps 1 société n'est apparue aussi divisée, en proie à des tensions violentes que les institutions ne parviennent plus à tempérer et exacerbent parfois...#thread #Trump
2) Après la tuerie de masse du journal @capitalgazette, les médias nationaux repassent en boucle cette scène où le président US #Trump refuse de s'exprimer pour réconforter victimes, familles, concitoyens...le président n'est plus le "consolateur en chef"
3)...cette nouvelle tuerie du Maryland, où 1 déséquilibré a voulu régler 1 vendetta personnelle avec 1 journal, voit aussi les #EtatsUnis découvrir qu'1 polémiste"nationaliste-identitaire"ayant son rond de serviette chez Fox et Breitbart, peut appeler au meurtre de #journalistes
If this is guy and they try to say it wasn't politically motivated, be ready to call

.@selenecapgaz to @andersoncooper: “thanks for your prayers, but I couldn't give a fuck about them if there's nothing else." #capitalgazette
more @selenecapgaz: ”what happened here was very calculated ... I think this person was going after editors. that’s what happened here, editors died."
now @PhilDavis_CG speaks: “if we’re in a position in society where all we can offer each other is prayer, where are we?"
Joining @OutFrontCNN , @CNNTonight and @cnni for what we know and what we don't. Few points: mutilation of fingerprints is behavior of deliberate attacker, premeditation, assassins and spies type stuff. Likely expected to be killed. 1/

Follow on explosive attack was directed at first responders. Since didnt detonate, will be treasure of info including purchased materials that can lead to surveillance cameras. 2/
Motive still unknown but police would want to shut down any political motive theory and that they haven't done so simply means it's an open question. That's not good b/c by now there were so many witnesses who would have known who he was. So likely he was stranger. 3/

#BREAKING: A shooting has occurred at the Capital Gazette in Anne Arundel County, according to reports from Gazette staff. Phil Davis, a Gazette reporter, said that multiple people had been shot. Details are still coming in at this time. baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/…
Update from a witness: “Gunman shot through the glass door to the office and opened fire on multiple employees. Can’t say much more and don’t want to declare anyone dead, but it’s bad."
Update from a witness: "There is nothing more terrifying than hearing multiple people get shot while you’re under your desk and then hear the gunman reload.”
