ANNAPOLIS, Md. – A prosecutor says the shooter who opened fire at a Maryland newspaper barricaded the exit door so employees couldn’t escape.
Wes Adams said Friday that there were two entrances to the office. He says Ramos entered through the front door and “worked his way through the office.”
Adams also says one victim who attempted to escape through the back door was shot.
A judge ordered suspect Jarrod W. Ramos to remain detained during a court hearing Friday.
Judge Thomas Pryal said found a likelihood that the 38-year-old Ramos is a danger. Ramos was represented by public defender William Davis.
Ramos appeared in an Annapolis courtroom via video feed. He appeared to watch attentively during the hearing but never spoke. He was dressed in blue detention clothing.
He is charged with five counts of first-degree murder in the killings inside Maryland’s Capital Gazette office on Thursday.
