Newspapers around the country are offering support to the Baltimore Sun Media Group, the owner of the Capital Gazette chain of community newspapers based in Annapolis, Md., in the wake of a newsroom shooting that killed five employees.

In addition, the American Society of News Editors and the Associated Press Media Editors put out a statement asking newsrooms everywhere to join in a moment of silence on Thursday at 2:33 p.m., exactly one week after the attack, “to honor those who lost their lives and to show support to those who lost family, friends, co-workers and peers.”

The suspect in the shooting, Jarrod W. Ramos, 38, has been charged with five counts of first-degree murder. He is being held without bail.

Trif Alatzas, the publisher and editor in chief of The Baltimore Sun, said the newspapers had gotten immense support from Tronc, the corporate owner of the Baltimore Sun Media Group. Journalists from Tronc papers — The Chicago Tribune, The Allentown Morning Call and The Virginian Pilot — have gone to Annapolis to help the Capital Gazette staff.
