The gunman who shot his way into a Maryland newsroom three years ago and killed five people there was not legally insane when he carried out the attack, a jury found Thursday.
The verdict, issued after the jury deliberated for less than an hour, means that the shooter will serve his sentence for the murders in prison rather than in a state hospital.
The shooter, 41-year-old Jarrod Ramos, claimed in court that he was not criminally responsible Maryland s version of the insanity defense when he carried out the mass shooting at the offices of the Capital Gazette, Annapolis s daily newspaper.
