Capital Gazette Shooting Survivors Will Be On Podcast Miniseries

ANNAPOLIS, MD — The Capital Gazette shooting was the nation's biggest story for a day, but it eventually faded out of the spotlight. That's the case for many mass shootings, but the story doesn't end there.

What was it like sitting in the same courtroom as the man accused of murdering your colleagues? How did the newspaper continue after the attack? What does this mean for local news?

NPR's "Embedded" podcast will answer these questions in a four-part miniseries. The first episode debuts Thursday.

The series will reflect on those lost in the June 28, 2018 shooting:

• Assistant Editor Robert Hiaasen
• Editorial Page Editor Gerald Fischman
• Sports Reporter John McNamara
• Sales Assistant Rebecca Smith
• Editor Wendi Winters

The podcast will also dive deeper.

An NPR producer followed the Capital Gazette for two years after the shooting. The series will explore the scars that still challenge the survivors. For more information and a preview of the podcast, click here.
