One of the alleged documents says Ramos went to the Gazette's offices “with the objective of killing every person present."

The man charged with gunning down five people at the Capital Gazette last week allegedly mailed three threatening letters before carrying out the attack, authorities said Monday.
Sgt. Jacklyn Davis, a spokeswoman with Anne Arundel County Police, said authorities believe Jarrod Ramos, 38, sent the letters to three locations — Baltimore City Court, Maryland Court of Special Appeals and a law office that asked to remain anonymous.
Ramos had an unsuccessful history suing the Gazette: In a 2012 suit, he claimed the newspaper defamed him after a columnist wrote about his 2011 guilty plea to criminal harassment. The suit was dismissed, and an appeals court affirmed the decision.
Davis declined to provide details of the letters, but the Baltimore Sun, which first reported the documents, published a copy of one allegedly sent to the law office of the Capital Gazette's former attorney.
NBC News has independently confirmed the authenticity of the document.
