A man who killed five employees of Maryland’s Capital Gazette newspaper in 2018 was sentenced Tuesday to spend the rest of his life in jail, prosecutors say.

Jarrod Ramos was sentenced to five life sentences without parole, plus one life sentence, plus 345 years, according to Anne Arundel County State’s Attorney spokesperson Tia Lewis.

Ramos walked into the Capital Gazette offices in June 2018 and opened fire, killing five staffers. Two others were injured.

A jury on July 15 found that Ramos was criminally responsible for the attack, rejecting his plea of insanity.

This is a developing story and will be updated.
