5 Dead in Shooting at Capital Gazette Newspaper in Maryland

5 Dead in Shooting at Capital Gazette Newspaper in Maryland Five people have been killed and two have been injured in a “targeted attack” at the newspaper, which is owned by the Baltimore Sun. Anne Arundel County deputy police chief Bill Krampf said the suspected gunman entered the building with a shotgun and walked through the lower level of the building, where the newspaper is housed. According to Krampf, the suspect “possibly” had a connection to the paper through social media. The suspect was identified as Jarrod Warren Ramos. Ramos filed a defamation claim in 2012 against the paper but the case was dismissed. He is currently in custody. President Trump was briefed on the events.
