Memorial garden dedicated for Capital Gazette newspaper employees killed in shooting
By EMILY SHAPIRO Jun 28, 2019, 3:56 PM ET
A memorial garden was dedicated in Annapolis, Maryland, Friday in honor of the five newspaper employees shot dead in their newsroom in a "senseless attack" one year ago.
On June 28, 2018, four journalists -- Wendi Winters, Rob Hiaasen, Gerald Fischman and John McNamara -- and a sales assistant -- Rebecca Smith -- were gunned down at the Capital Gazette in what became the largest killing of journalists in U.S. history.
The suspected gunman, who allegedly had a long grudge against the Capital Gazette, has pleaded not criminally responsible.
The garden at Acton's Cove Waterfront Park has five rose bushes and a memorial plaque, the Capital Gazette reported.
