Anthony Messenger, an intern at The Capital Gazette in Annapolis, Maryland where five people were killed by Jarrod Ramos, 38, on Thursday, was a writer at Rubbing the Rock for almost two years.
At 2:43 p.m., yesterday, Messenger’s tweet, “Active shooter 888 Bestgate please help us,” was seen by many people, as he hoped that he wouldn’t die.
Active shooter 888 Bestgate please help us

I personally didn’t see Messenger’s tweet until last night and after immediately calling him to see if he was okay.
