Brian Hayes, 47, was killed during an overnight mass shooting at the Weis Market in Tunkhannock on the night of June 8, 2017. A night-shift supervisor at the store and a Navy veteran who served in Operation Desert Shield and Desert Storm, Hayes was described as a devoted father to his daughter and stepdaughter and remembered by family as a loving husband and father.

The shooter, a 24-year-old coworker, entered the store armed with two pistols, barricaded exits and opened fire during the overnight shift. Two other employees, Terry Lee Sterling, 63, and Victoria Brong, 25, were also killed. The assailant had posted extensively online about firearms, admiration for the Columbine massacre, suicide notes and grievances about his job, and ultimately died by a self-inflicted gunshot at the scene; there were no arrests or trials.

Anyone who knew Brian, his work routine at the Weis Market, or who might add context about the victims or that night is asked to share what they remember.
