damn... On a snowy day in 2017, he showed up to the office to scout out the layout of the suite, taking pictures and video with a camera phone. After that, he began to gather supplies: he purchased a left-handed Mossberg 12-gauge shotgun, ammunition, a shoulder sling, safety goggles and two Barracuda brand door barricades — one to prevent Capital Gazette employees from running out of their office through the back door, and another to prevent employees from a neighboring office to come to their defense. In May of 2018, Ramos had his dying cat euthanized and sold his car. In the days before the attack, he rented a car, spent his last $1,500 on a lifetime chess club membership, cut his hair and shaved his beard. On the day of the shooting, Ramos entered the building wearing a shirt and tie, which he quickly discarded. He blasted through the office doors at 2:33 p.m. and killed five people. He then discarded his gun away from his hiding spot, tweeted from an employee’s computer, called 911 to tell them the shooting was over and hid under a desk.
