Had to look up where Kirkersville is. It'll be interesting to see what the backstory of this is. Is this guy just a nut shooting up whatever innocent place he can find, or is there another connection?

I was familiar with Kirkersville (name only, never been there) as I grew up in Licking County.

Sad day here in Licking County. Kirkersville is a very small town in western Licking County right off of I-70. Police force in that town is about 20 officers. Officer shot was the Police Chief.

Really sad. Guy was the police chief, 36 years old, had 6 kids with a 7th on the way. Of course, the coward who opened fire, taking 3 other lives, took his own as well.

My cousin works as a nurse in the area. Took it pretty hard.

Guy is a career criminal. Loser. Went after his girlfriend, or ex-girlfriend.

Terrible.

It was apparently his ex, and she had just got a protective order against him.

A police force of 20 officers in that tiny of a town seems like an incredible overkill. Is that number correct?
