The gunman who killed five people at the Capital Gazette newspaper in Annapolis, Md., is facing 23 criminal charges, including five counts for first-degree murder.

Anne Arundel County prosecutors filed an indictment Friday against Jarrod Ramos, 38, for attacking the newsroom with a shotgun June 28. If Ramos is found guilty of the murder charges, then he is likely to face a life sentence in prison. His first court date is set for July 30 in Circuit Court.
