Kirkwood shooting
It just hit the news, a guy walked into City Hall and opened fire, the mayor and other council members were shot along with a couple of officers.
The officers have died...as has the shooter, Charles Lee Thorton.
Bummer!

That's a shame. I tried your link and it wouldn't work. Any place else I might be able to see more about it?
Thanks.

There are a lot of people out there that are at the end of their ropes and have become very desperate and just don't know where to turn. And then there are those that are just crazy!
I am so glad I have a permit to carry. But I pray I never have to defend myself or anyone else.

This guy "Cookie" Thornton must have seen the movie with the line "kill 'em all". He wiped out the entire city council. They gave him 150 parking tickers for parking his company's vehicles "illegally", before he cleaned City Hall.
