Rose M. Manfredi, 48, was one of seven people killed in a workplace shooting at the Edgewater Technology offices in Wakefield, Massachusetts, on December 26, 2000. She worked in the company’s payroll department, was the youngest of eleven children, a mother of two, and remembered by family as caring, with a love of gardening and singing. The attack occurred the day before her 49th birthday.

The shooter was a co-worker, Michael McDermott, who entered the building armed with an AK-47, a shotgun, and a pistol and moved through the offices fatally wounding several employees, including Manfredi. McDermott was found sitting calmly in the reception area when police arrived and was arrested without resistance. Investigators later focused on his wage garnishment by the company to pay IRS back taxes as a possible motive.

Does anyone who knew Rose or worked at Edgewater Technology have memories or information to share about her or that day?
