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.
