Five people were killed and two others were injured when a gunman fired at people in the Capital Gazette newsroom in Annapolis, Maryland, on Thursday afternoon.

The victims held various roles within the company; several had decades of experience in journalism.

"Devastated & heartbroken. Numb. Please stop asking for information/interviews," Jimmy DeButts, community news editor of the Capital Gazette, said in a tweet.

A Bloomberg journalist started a crowdfunding campaign to help support the victims. As of early Friday morning, it had raised more than $50,000 of its $70,000 goal. That goal had previously been set to $30,000. It was raised several times as the donation pledges added up.
