The suspect in Thursday’s shooting at a Maryland newspaper was identified as Jarrod Ramos, born Dec. 21, 1979, according to three senior law enforcement officials.
According to NBC News, Ramos had a history with the paper, filing a suit against it in 2012.
Ramos mutilated his fingers in what investigators think was an effort to prevent him from being easily identified, according to a law enforcement source.
Despite the apparent attempt to prevent a fingerprint match, investigators identified Ramos using facial recognition technology, a law enforcement source told ABC News.
