Riot street scene
Captain Moran
During the 1967 riots, Captain Michael F. Moran of the Newark Fire Department was shot dead by sniper as he climbed an aerial ladder. Moran and his crew from Truck Co. 11 were investigating an alarm on Central Avenue near
Presbyterian Hospital on July 15 when shots rang out from the roof of a bank, killing the father of six children. Newark's six days of rioting left 26 dead and hundreds injured.
