EXCERPT:

COSTELLO: “I was just, as we were looking at these scenes, trying to gain more information — and it is striking that you now have 'The Baltimore Sun,' the parent company of this particular newspaper, reporting that there has been a shooting apparently in their newsroom offices. It caused me, Ali, to harken back to we have had reporters targeted, as you know, in recent months and years. And it hasn’t just been on the campaign trail. Although, as you know, the vitriol really did reach fever pitch on the campaign trail as reporters were trying to cover the Trump campaign."
