ANNAPOLIS, Md. — Court records filed Friday show Jarrod W. Ramos has been charged with five counts of first-degree murder in the killings inside Maryland's Capitol Gazette office.

The online records do not list an attorney for Ramos, who is scheduled for a bail hearing 10:30 am Friday in Annapolis.

Authorities say Ramos opened fire inside the newspaper office Thursday, killing five and injuring two others. He had a long, acrimonious history with the newspaper, including a lawsuit and years of harassment of its journalists.
