It's a town of about 27,000 that lies about 12 miles southwest of St. Louis. It really is a small town tucked inside a big city. Everyone knows everyone here. I know everyone here. I have refused to leave this town/city permanently for a reason. It is what America used to be.
I can't believe it. I won't. My heart is broken. I know those people. All of them.
Two policemen, three city council members and maybe the mayor.
5 dead in Kirkwood.
Please say it isn't so.
What's happening to us?

Randy,
My niece teaches in Kirkwood, what a shame. As a government attorney I have had my share of nut-cases call me, show up at out office and I have had to deal with the FBI and Secret service over these types....it is scary as hell sometimes. You always look over your shoulder. I am sorry for your community.
On another note, and I am embarrassed I don't know her name, but Channel 4 should be ashamed at their coverage and interview of the killer's brother, airing his comments and the reported all but justifying the killer's actions. They should be ashamed....truly ashamed.
Wes
I am truly sorry for your losses and for everyone in Kirkwood.............
Sad story, indeed, and so utterly senseless. My condolences to one and all...
I came across your blog from your daughter Jessica (I know her from an online message board). I worked for the KWD Police Department for several years, it sickens me to think that this has happened. I'm still in shock as I am sure you are too. These were all wonderful people. I hope you made it to the vigil last night, it was beautiful.
