Hospital dedicates memorial to slain security guard
Healthcare Security Weekly, May 21, 2007
Family and friends attended a ceremony for the unveiling of a memorial stone engraved with McFarland's name that was placed in front of the hospital, along side a freshly planted dogwood tree, reported The Roanoke Times.
McFarland was killed the morning of August 20 as a Montgomery County Jail inmate escaped from a deputy's custody at the hospital. The 25-year-old prisoner is charged with knocking out that deputy and taking his loaded pistol, which he allegedly used to shoot McFarland as he went to the aid of the deputy. The escape promoted a 37-hour manhunt that shut down Virginia Tech's campus on the first day of fall semester.
