Donald Scofield McNaught, 63, was killed at the Ridgewood, New Jersey post office where he worked overnight on October 10, 1991. A Marine Corps veteran and long‑time resident of northern New Jersey who had lived in Hackensack and Pompton Lakes, McNaught had worked six years on the night shift in Ridgewood and was described as a quiet, steady presence by co‑workers.

Shortly after 2 a.m., former Ridgewood postal worker Joseph M. Harris, armed and dressed in dark paramilitary clothing, entered through a rear entrance and ambushed employees arriving for the shift. Harris shot McNaught and fellow mail handler Joseph VanderPaauw; a postal truck driver was also fired upon. Harris threw explosives at police and held out for roughly four hours before surrendering, after which investigators reached the victims. McNaught’s obituary noted his military service and years of postal work, and he is listed among those lost to gun violence on October 10, 1991.

Does anyone who worked at the Ridgewood post office in 1991 or who knew Donald have memories or details to share?
