NEW YORK—Funerals have been held for a pharmacist and a customer gunned down in the Father's Day massacre at a pharmacy on Long Island.
Friends and family mourned pharmacist Raymond Ferguson and Jaime Taccetta on Saturday in separate services. The funeral for the 45-year-old Ferguson was held in Forest Hills, Queens, while the 33-year-old Taccetta was remembered at services in Lake Ronkonkoma (ron-KONK'-uh-muh).
Authorities say they were killed along with two other people on June 19 at Haven Drugs in Medford, N.Y., by a man seeking to rob painkillers.
Event has shattered many families and have left police speechless being “the most cold-blooded robbery-homicide in Suffolk County history,” As Suffolk County Assistant District Attorney John Collins said.
Police Commissioner Richard Dormer was at a loss of words for Laffer and Brady, because they were a couple with out any previous criminal records or history of violence.
Dormer said, “It is very difficult to comprehend this…to suddenly engage in this type of violent behavior is beyond understanding. It doesn’t make sense. I don’t have the answer.
