Charles T. Barbagallo was 42 and worked at the Dana Point Post Office when he was fatally shot on May 6, 1993, in Dana Point, California. Described as kind and peaceful, Barbagallo was among the employees targeted during a violent attack at the post office.

The assailant, identified as Mark Richard Hilbun, reportedly began his spree by stabbing his mother, Frances Hilbun, and her dog at their home before going to the post office. Hilbun had been dismissed from the post office earlier for stalking a female co-worker and was allegedly driven by an obsession with that co-worker, Kim Springer, who escaped harm by hiding.

A manhunt followed the shootings, and Hilbun was arrested two days later in Huntington Beach. He faced multiple charges including two counts of murder and several counts of attempted murder, robbery, and kidnapping; he pleaded not guilty and his defense cited longstanding mental health issues. Does anyone have memories of Charles Barbagallo or information about that day that could add to the record?
