David Laffer Arrested in Connection with Massacre at Haven Drugs Store in Medford NY that Left Four Dead

David Laffer, 33, has been arrested by law enforcement agents in connection with the bloody massacre that left four dead at Haven Drugs pharmacy in Medford, Long Island Sunday morning. He was arrested Wednesday morning at his house in Medford at about 10:15 a.m. without incident. Laffer, who has no police record, was clean shaven when he was arrested Wednesday morning. 

In several Internet postings, Laffer claimed to have served in an Army military intelligence unit in The Bronx under Ronald Bucca, a heroic fire marshal who was killed on 9/11. "He always talked about the FBI," neighbor Zaida Ayala said.

But in a Daily News wedding announcement that appeared in January 2009, Laffer was described as working "in logistics shipping and receiving." Laffer, according to the announcement, was also a devoted Islanders fan whose proposal to his wife, Melinda Brady, was show on the large TV screens in the arena.

It also appears that Laffer played goalie on a local hockey team. On his Facebook page, he listed the Springfield XD - a semi-automatic handgun - as one of his activities. Source: NY Daily News

I'm not sure what David Laffer was looking for at Haven Drugs, other than drugs, but he had no right to murder pharmacist Raymond Ferguson, store clerk Jennifer Mejia, 17, and customers Byron Sheffield and Jamie Taccetta. No words can adequately mourn the loss of innocent lives.

UPDATE#1:  David Laffer's wife, Melinda Brady Laffer was also taken into police custody.

The NY Post is reporting that Melinda Brady Laffer drove the getaway car after the massacre and was reportedly a drug addict, after becoming hooked to painkillers stemming from a "stomach ailment."
