Condolences for those killed or wounded in the Kirkwood shooting
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Six people, including two Kirkwood police officers and the gunman, were killed tonight at Kirkwood City Hall, a St. Louis County police spokeswoman said about 9:25 p.m. Two others were wounded.
Leave your thoughts and remarks for those affected by the shooting here.
And also talk about how you think meetings for public bodies like the Kirkwood City Council can be made safer without limiting the access to the public that is what democracy is all about.

It does not help to pray so much. Maybe you should changed the law about having a gun/shotgun. This will allways continue in your “free” country.
My sympathies to the familes of all the victims of the Kirkwood City Hall shooting. No family deserves all this pain.
In the words of somebody on TV, “This wasn’t the fault of a group. It was one man.”
We would do well to remember that, rather than blaming guns, or neighborhoods, or anything other than an individual.
As a member of the Webster Groves community and as a member of the staff of Care and Counseling I express my heartfelt sorrow for and support of the Kirkwood community. We hold you in our thoughts and prayers. Dale R. Kuhn
I am so saddened about this whole horrific tradegy. Connie, I miss you so much already. Your spirit, passion and committment to Kirkwood and all it’s citizens will live on in so many ways.
Why can’t we all live peacefully? Our heart goes out to the families of the loved ones killed.
I hope this will be a reminder to everyone to take seriously the pain and oppression some members of society feel. Let them speak their minds. If their obcessions are too great that allowing the to speak provides them no satisfaction, then help them… show them love, understanding, and compassion. When there are abundant signs to numerous people that things aren’t right with someone, it is incumbent on us to respond in a positive wait. Tragedies like this are the result of failed communities.
Nice words Tony!
My deepest sympathies to all family members and friends who lost loved ones tonight in this terrible incident. I will pray for you all tonight with a heavy heart, and tell God to carry you through this trying time.
I live in KIrkwood and want to extend the sympathy of The Presbytery of Giddings-Lovejoy of the Presbyetrian CHurch, U.S.A. to our sisters and brothers of the First Presbyterian Church of Kirkwood, and to the Kirkwood community. All of you are in our prayers and thoughts tonight.
