GATESVILLE (AP) — Exactly one year after an explosion ripped through a construction site at Coryell Memorial Hospital — instantly killing one person, fatally wounding two others and injuring 13 more — community members and hospital staff gathered in front of the hospital.
"We want this to be a moment of remembrance," hospital CEO David Byrom said during the ceremony. "Our goal now is to focus on the positives for the community. The explosion was a defining moment for the community; not the explosion itself, but how we responded to it."
The Killeen Daily Herald reports more than 60 community members and hospital staff gathered Wednesday to pay their respects to the construction workers who were killed or injured in the June 26, 2018, explosion at a construction site on the hospital grounds.
