Annapolis gunman wanted to 'kill as many as possible'

The 38-year-old gunman who carried out a deadly assault on a newspaper office in Annapolis had barricaded a back door hoping to "kill as many" as he could, authorities said Friday, confirming he pursued a years-long vendetta against the paper. Police said the suspect -- identified as Maryland resident Jarrod Ramos -- used a legally purchased pump-action shotgun in an onslaught that left five employees of the Capital Gazette dead, and two others wounded on Thursday. A judge ordered Ramos held without bail on five counts of first-degree murder, county prosecutor Wes Adams told a media briefing.
