Today marks 40th anniversary of 1986 Edmond Post Office Massacre

Sherrill was a relief carrier, meaning he was often required to work alternate routes on different days, a position dictated by his rank on the seniority list.

His lack of a permanently assigned route meant that he lacked the same job stability as other USPS workers. Opinions vary concerning his job performance. Some reports portray him as an erratic, irritable worker; others claim he performed well and was being badgered by management.

On the afternoon of August 19, 1986, supervisors Esser and Bland reprimanded Sherrill for his behavior.[4] Sherrill had threatened revenge twice out of anger at being disciplined
