Three years after the Capital Gazette shooting, its former publisher still sleeps with a gun
CNN
Tom Marquardt, the former editor and publisher of the Capital Gazette, could have easily found himself in the cross-hairs of Jarrod Ramos, the man responsible for busting into the paper's newsroom and killing five staffers with his pump action shotgun.
Lucky for Marquardt, he had already retired from the newspaper. But three years after the brutal massacre in Annapolis, Maryland, Marquardt's innocence is gone, replaced by a Heckler & Koch VP9 and a .357 Smith and Wesson, both loaded with hollow point bullets. Marquardt, who was against guns his whole life, found himself changed forever on that brutal day.More Related News
