One day after a gunman killed five staffers at the Capital Gazette in Annapolis, Maryland, the Baltimore Orioles paid tribute to those who died in the attack. 

The team held a moment of silence before Friday night's game against the Los Angeles Angels:

Eduardo A. Encina of the Baltimore Sun tweeted video of the on-field tribute:

The team also paid their respects with a touching tribute in the press box:

John McNamara, Rob Hiaasen, Wendi Winters, Gerald Fischman and Rebecca Smith were all shot and killed on Thursday. McNamara was a longtime sports reporter and spent more than two decades working for the newspaper.
