The victims of the Capital Gazette shooting now have justice as Jarrod Ramos, the man who opened fire in the Capital Gazette newsroom in Annapolis, Md., in 2018, received a life sentence in prison without the possibility of parole.

During the shooting, Ramos shot and killed five newspaper employees. After much deliberation, a jury decided that he had the mental and emotional capacity to be held criminally accountable for the attack. 

Ramos was upset with his coverage by the Capital Gazette, which resulted in him meticulously organizing the attack following a harassment conviction involving a former classmate in 2011.

On Tuesday, he heard the impact statements of families of the victims in the courtroom, which was relayed by The Washington Post.

"There were days I wondered why I lived or if I should live at all," Selene San Felice, a reporter that survived the shooting, said. "I live to spread the truth. We will press on."

A daughter of slain staffer Wendi Winters stated to reporters outside the courthouse that the life sentence Ramos received "brings us solace that the person that took her from us will never breathe freedom again."
