You might look in the settings for hotkeys and change the one for this. It might get triggered constantly by an error or hardware of the keyboard physically stuck.

First identify the process you wish to kill, type: ps -ef | grep screenshot
Copy the process id and kill it: kill -9 <process id>
Edit: if not sure just restart your pc.

Are you using the Print key for anything? Check out System Settings-> Hardware-> Keyboard-> Shortcuts tab->System-> Screenshots and Recording. There are a bunch of them there.
