June 29th, 2018 by WCBC Radio

A Laurel, Maryland, man who had a long-running dispute with the Capital Gazette has been ordered held without bond on five counts of first-degree murder in the deadly shooting Thursday at the Annapolis newspaper.

Jarrod W. Ramos, 38, will be held without bond after his first court appearance in Anne Arundel District Court. He appeared by video from the county detention center and was told he is charged with five counts of first-degree murder and could face life in prison.

In arguing that Ramos be held until trial, Anne Arundel County State’s Attorney Wes Adams told Judge Thomas Pryal that the rear door to the Capital Gazette building had been barricaded before Ramos shot through the front door and began “hunting and killing” employees working on the first floor.
