The suspect in the deadly shooting at a Maryland newspaper building has been identified as 38-year-old Jarrod Ramos of Laurel, Maryland, law enforcement sources tell CBS News.
Ramos is suspected of opening fire Thursday at the offices of Capital Gazette in Annapolis, Maryland, and fatally shooting five people while injuring several others. He allegedly used a shotgun and was carrying smoke grenades or flash-bang grenades when he was apprehended, police said.
"This was a targeted attack on the Capital Gazette," Anne Arundel County acting police chief Bill Krampf said at a press conference Thursday evening. Krampf declined to name the suspect. "This person was prepared to shoot people. His intent was to cause harm."
Ramos was taken into custody at the scene and refused to cooperate with authorities. He carried no identification and had damaged his finger tips in an apparent effort to thwart identification by law enforcement, sources said. Authorities resorted to using facial recognition software and comparing his face to databases of passports and driver's license photos.

Today, his ethnicity matters; it matters VERY much...well, according to the Dems and lefties it does!
Jarrod's father's first name is Miguel! Was he born here, is he an anchor baby, or what? So Jarrod's being born here hardly matters! After all, look what the MSM did to George Zimmerman, who was born here and doesn't have a Spanish sounding last name!
Which is incorrect!
I’m just reporting the facts.
And I’m “correcting” the erroneous “facts” that they used. :-)
I got that, I just wish they did.
He was born in the US. Looks like his own father was also born in the US, or came here as a very tiny baby.
Shooter’s grandfather was Puerto Rican, a US Army veteran, Korea and Vietnam, died in 1988, buried in Arlington National Cemetery, Section 60. He worked at Ft Meade at some point. After his military service he was an employee of the Maryland Department of Corrections. Yep, he worked in the prison system his grandson will most likely be a guest of.
Shooter’s father apparently works/worked for the NSA - at Ft Meade.
Looks like the family was Roman Catholic, don’t seem to have any political commentary or other hints in any of the places I’ve snooped. His family looks like any other family.
Not every family is given a perfect child. Sometimes, no matter how loving and “normal” a family is, a child grows up to one day lose his marbles and do very bad things.
I am sick of the MSM.
It's a dumb thing, but we have to fight back, using the lefties' tactics, if we hope to win.
US Citizen; discrimination against US citizens based on race, religion, or ethnicity is unconstitutional.
Tell that to George Zimmerman!
And "Jarrod" is a male first name. Your point?
