The suspect charged in a deadly shooting at a Maryland newspaper office on Thursday used a pump-action shotgun that was legally purchased, according to the local Arundel County police.
"We've confirmed I think already that it was a shotgun used in the incident," Police Chief Timothy Altomare said at a press conference on Friday.
"I will also confirm that it was a pump action shotgun, it was legally purchased a year or so ago."
Altomare said the attack on the Capital Gazette in Annapolis, Md., was a "targeted" attack.
CNN reported early Friday that suspect Jarrod Ramos was charged with first-degree murder.
Five people were killed Thursday when a gunman opened fire at the newspaper's office.
Altomare said two other people were injured in the attack.
The only new law that the left wants is to make ALL guns illegal.
It was probably a fully automatic pump with a high magazine clip.
Probably purchased at Dick’s Sporting Goods.
With his record that the police knew about he should NEVER have been able to buy any gun.
...and a chainsaw bayonet
Correct.Convicted of criminal harassment...
Legally purchased my a$$.
The media is probably regretting that he didn’t have a semiAUTOMATIC “self loading” shotgun. Imagine what they would have done with that.
More lies....there is no way he could have legally purchased that shotgun given his record...no way. They’re as full of shite as a Chrismas goose.
and I heard that he had a bump stock on it for rapid firing.
And a silencer.
Yes...... Shot guns action types
Single shot, double barrel (side by side and over and under), bolt action, pump and automatic (really semiautomatic by today’s lexicon but automatic in days past)
I have been waiting for the media to go nuts over a semi automatic shot gun but guess that is not going to happen yet
btt
Doesn’t make sense. Maybe gun purchase vetting ought to take into consideration their ‘social media’ presence.
Nora: "But he was able to get his hand on a semi-automatic shotgun".
Interviewee: "It was a pump action shotgun, not an auto loader"
Nora: "But if it shoots everytime you pull the trigger, it's automatic...lets move on".......
Be careful with police chief Altomare’s parsing here.
He only said that the shotgun itself was legally purchased, not that Jarrod Ramos himself legally purchased the shotgun.
Plenty of wiggle room in case Ramos used someone else’s gun. Would fit with his damaging his fingers to avoid leaving (his) prints.
Probably purchased before he was
convicted. I think the Sheriff
is trying to hold the media off.
Nora: “But if it shoots everytime you pull the trigger, it’s automatic...lets move on”.......
I’m really surprised I thought he used an Assault Weapon./Sarcasm
With a barrel shroud thingy.
