In one call to
the paper’s newsroom, Mr. Chain threatened to shoot the newspaper’s
employees in the head, the F.B.I. said. Three days later, in another
call, Mr. Chain said: “You’re the enemy of the people.” Using profane
language, he threatened to kill “every” Globe employee.
Mr.
Trump has embraced the phrase “enemy of the people.” Media executives
have decried the expression, believing it a dangerous assault on the
First Amendment, warning that it could incite acts of violence among the
president’s most ardent supporters in the United States and embolden
authoritarian political movements overseas.
On Thursday, the president once again used the phrase.
The F.B.I. said there were about 12 threatening calls made to the paper.

Man accused of carrying out shooting at Maryland newspaper indicted
Updated 2:33 PM ET, Sat July 21, 2018
(CNN)The man accused of carrying out last month's deadly shooting at a Maryland newspaper has been indicted on five counts of first-degree murder, according to the prosecutor.
On
Friday, an Anne Arundel County grand jury indicted Jarrod Ramos on 23
counts in connection with the June 28 shooting, State's Attorney Wes
Adams said in a statement.
In
addition to the five murder charges, Ramos faces a count of attempted
first-degree murder and 17 other assault and weapons charges.
Ramos, 38, is accused of walking into the Capital Gazette newsroom in Annapolis and opening fire, killing five employees -- Gerald Fischman, Rob Hiaasen, John McNamara, Rebecca Smith and Wendi Winters -- and leaving two others wounded.
The attack took place a few years after Ramos had unsuccessfully sued the newspaper for defamation. An article in the paper had chronicled Ramos' harassment of a former classmate on social media.
