Thank you for getting a link - Mods pulled mine before I get could get a link up.
Up to 6 dead now
That’s it, kill some officer and make his wife a widdow and his kids fatherless (if he had any) because you have a beef with the mayor or the city council.
May this ass rot in hell.
My daughter called me to see if I was at the meeting, which I wasn’t.
It was a zoning hearing as far as I know.
This all happened in Kirkwood MO (many of you know about Kirkwood MO due to the Shawn Hornbeck/Michael Devin case)
Fox STL is saying 6 dead for sure.
I have heard that the shooter is “down.”
We have a pretty good police department here. Don’t know anything else and have not heard any sirens.
A man in Clarksville, TN shot (killed) himself in front of the City Council last year over a zoning issue.
Okay, they are finally covering this. Multiple victims say first reports.

Perp’s name: Charles Lee “Cookie” Thornton
Listening online - at least 5 shot.
Perp - Charles Thornton - digruntled over parking tickets - long history with city government. Shot dead.
I was watching Channel 5, but then they went to regular programming.
Early reports are that he went into Imo’s after shooting in City Hall, gunshots heard at Imo’s but he escaped and they later found him and shot him. (unconfirmed as you know everything is still breaking)
Mayor is ok - only shot in the hand.
Good grief, this is an incredibly orderly and peaceful community. We have a great police department.
