Robert Bob Hiaasen, 59, was one of five employees killed in a targeted shooting at the Capital Gazette newspaper office in Annapolis, Maryland, on June 28, 2018. The gunman entered the newsroom armed with a shotgun, barricaded the rear exit to prevent escape, and opened fire. Hiaasen worked as a journalist and assistant editor for the paper.

Authorities identified the shooter as Jarrod Ramos, who had a long-running grievance against the newspaper arising from a 2011 article about his guilty plea to a criminal harassment charge and from a defamation lawsuit he filed in 2012 that was dismissed. Ramos had sent threatening letters and messages in the years before the attack and mailed letters on the morning of the shooting stating his intent to go to the newsroom and kill everyone present. Police found Ramos hiding under a desk shortly after arriving and took him into custody; facial recognition helped confirm his identity when no ID was found on him.

Does anyone have information about Bob Hiaasen’s work at the Capital Gazette or his life that could help remember him?
