The man allegedly responsible for the deaths of five employees at a Maryland newspaper was charged with first-degree murder, CNN reported Friday.

The suspect has been named as Jarrod Ramos, who reportedly in 2012 sued the Capital Gazette newspaper in Annapolis, Md., for defamation.

{mosads}Five people died Friday after a gunman opened fire at the newspaper’s office.

CNN said Ramos has a 10:30 a.m. hearing for bail on Friday.

Police said Thursday the shooting was “a targeted attack” on the newspaper.

Despite the attack, the Gazette on Friday still put out a paper that reported the news of the five deaths.

The Baltimore Sun, a nearby paper, owns the Gazette.
