EDMOND — Survivors of the Edmond Post Office massacre and their friends are planning a 30th anniversary memorial ceremony outside the downtown post office where 14 workers were killed.

Next Saturday marks the morning in 1986 when gunman Patrick Henry Sherrill went on a rampage also wounding six others and then taking his own life inside the post office where he worked.

Sherrill, 43, had been reprimanded the previous day for poor job performance.

Sherrill dressed in his postal uniform, entered the post office shortly before 7 a.m. with his mail bag loaded with three guns that left seven female co-workers and seven male co-workers dead.
