A man dies in a workplace shooting
Ronald Richard Edberg, 58, was one of six victims tragically killed in the Accent Signage Systems shooting on September 27, 2012, in Minneapolis. Edberg had been an employee of the company for over a decade, working as a talented graphic designer. The shooting occurred when a disgruntled former employee, who had been fired earlier that day, returned to the workplace and opened fire, killing multiple people, including Edberg, before taking his own life.
Edberg was remembered by family and friends for his quiet demeanor, humor, and artistic talents. His daughter recalled how people would stop and listen whenever he shared stories, knowing they were in for something both funny and profound. Colleagues described him as calm and composed, even under pressure at work, and he was admired for his skill in screen printing and painting. His untimely death left a significant void in the lives of his loved ones, and he is remembered as a devoted father and artist who made a lasting impact on those who knew him.
The mass shooting was one of the deadliest workplace incidents in Minnesota's history and left a lasting scar on the community.
