Home > Wakefield Massacre

The Wakefield Massacre happened on December 26, 2000 when disgruntled software engineer Michael McDermott went on a shooting rampage, killing seven of his co-workers at Edgewater Technology in Wakefield, Massachusetts, north of Boston .

He was found by police sitting calmy and stated that he didn't speak German. His defense was that he thought he was back in time killing Nazis. However, his proven motive was the garnisheeing of his wages by his employer to the IRS, to pay back taxes.

His arsenal consisted of an AK-47 assault rifle, a 12-gauge shotgun, and a .32 calibre pistol.

He was found guilty of seven counts of first degree murder and sentenced to seven consecutive life sentences without the possibility of parole. Massachusetts does not have the death penalty.

His victims were:

Janice Haggery, 46, office manager
Jennifer Bragg Capobianco, 29, marketing and a mother
Cheryl Troy, 50, vice president of human resources
Rose Manfredi, accountant in payroll dept.
Louis Javelle, 58, director of consulting and a father of four
Paul Marceau, 36, development technician
Craig Wood, 29, human resources
